Swedish multi-instrumentalist Per Boysen creates space-age soundscapes by blending Scandinavian ethnic music from past centuries with modern Electronic and New Age elements. He has performed Octophonic surround concerts in South-East Asia, Europe, and the USA, including venues like Présences Electronique in Paris and the North Sea Jazz in Rotterdam. With a background as a major label signed artist and studio guitar player, Per has scored a gold-selling album in Sweden and received recognition from Guitar Player Magazine in the USA.
"Among the many festival highlights was Swedish guitarist and flute/wood-wind player Per Boysen's Jon Hassel-like soundscapes." (Guitar Player Magazine, USA)
"Per Boysen's live looped ambience music with layers over layers of sax and flute melodies was a real experience, and it was obvious that he is utilizing the electronics as his personal expression without being a slave to the technology." (Smålandsposten, Sweden)
“Boysen has become an icon of as many bizarrely named pseudo-categories as inventive journalists could come up with. His prerogative of 'liking music, but not genres' has fueled his ongoing 'search for unplayed music,' which is uncompromising in its strive for fresh emotions, but doesn't shy away from audience appreciation either.” (Tokafi)
"Per Boysen returns to his looping roots with a set for his exquisite flute playing and absolute mastery of his software, many of whom’s scripts he created himself. He has such a command of acoustic musicianship coupled with a truly vast knowledge about digital sound processing and live looping. I think of him as a giant in our community" (Rick Walker. Founding promoter Y2K International Live Looping)
