ABOUT THE NAME OBJEKT4 *Objekt4 should be read as one word, read 4 in roman numbers and you get Objektiv, objective in swedish. Objekt4 is all about an open mind, not bound to any sound, style or approach, putting SOUND in as complete focus as possible.* BIOGRAPHY "Started off as a digital synthesis programmer and acoustic designer in early student years, before moving on to sound design and film music. The introduction to korean and japanese horror movies spawned a keen interest in expanding sound design into music by creating various hybrids between field recordings and ambiences / sounds of everyday life with musical instruments and musical approaches, creating musical ambience rather than ambient music. Started recording music as "Objekt4" in 2003. After releasing two horror soundtrack-styled albums in 2003-2004 the approach was altered and changed into other sounds and styles such as "Her face among the shadows" (2004-2005), a journey into hallucinogenic experimental dub and trip-hop inspired industrial ambient soundscapes, "Elementality" (2006), based on sounds of earth, water, fire and wind, and guitar, bass, drums and a female voice, creating various hybrids between all these sound elements, and "Space jungle slums" (2006-2007), an experimental chillout downtempo album with a spacy jungle vibe." SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY (Further discography available at; www.discogs.com/artist/Objekt4) "Space Jungle Slums" CD (2006-2007) Ajana Records This album contains two sessions; "Nexus Sector A/D" and "Jungle Vibes", both rooted in the realms of experimental chilled downbeat music with a slight psychadelic touch. Contains mindblowing artwork by german artist Jann Kerntke and Nad Wolinska from Lafayette, California, USA, and photography by Marta I. Moreno from Valencia, Spain. "Rhythmic ambient structures and spacey beatless zones. Objekt4 gives the listener the impression of passing through a futuristic urban twilight where different aural states arise from each consecutive area. Mechanical beats and seemingly incidental rhythms flow from one into another - sometimes abruptly as if the listener had stepped without warning into a new sector, sometimes smoothly, fluid, gradual like a natural digression. Zones free of percussion hang in the spaces, often pregnant with expectation, anticipating the next variation. Beats range from booming post industrial lattices and muffled engineering that could almost be found sound to grooves that are just at the edge of chilled downtempo programming. The electronica maintains a similar ghostly quality suggestive of environmental sound, very modern, almost freeform synthetic meanderings that tend to be laid out in repeating arrangements and cycles that roll one into another. Tracks frequently cross refer so that a sound can be picked up in more than one piece tying the album into a unified whole."

Ed. CD + DTS 5.1 Surround Sound CD-R (2004-2006) Ravenheart Productions "Mindnumbing electronica with subtle beats that drill a hole deep into your core and shake you from the inside out." (Smother Mag.) "This CD is rich in a variety of sounds of textures, leaving room for unpredictability and compositional excursions. As if an unknown quantity of some neo-tech hallucinogen has taken hold, the listener is forced the grapple with the shape-shifting forms emerging from the shadows and the light, with little referential aid". 9/10 (Virus! Magazine) "Sometimes the sounds are so subtle and hidden that full attention is required to follow them. Beats, thumping and an interior throbbing create an invisible line that each composition follows. There is so much dark ambient that chooses to use only haunting, angular and violent noises, Objekt4 is a refreshingly complicated and bipolar project." (Heathen Harvest) "Much like Anders Peterson’s previous works, Her Face Among the Shadows is firmly rooted in the ominous neck of the ambient woods. Eight tracks of moody, often ethereal soundscapes that’d sound just as comfy pouring forth from a massive, looming iron-smelting plant as it would in the hull of an abandoned, corroding, aimlessly floating space barge." (Metalreview.com) "...Objekt4's dark ambience further texturizes the shades of grey that exist between the terror of complete darkness and the new age ephemera of daylight..." (Igloo Magazine) ORDER THIS ITEM FROM THE OBJEKT4 STORE "Mindscars" 2xCD (2005-2006) Ravenheart / Regimental Rec. / Sabbathid Rec. This album consists of two cds, "Other side of light" and "Realms of rust, domains of decay", containing 8 sessions recorded between 2005-2006; "Nursing station", "Alchemillan influence", "Otherside scenery 01-02", "Archaia, wolfcut", "Realms of rust", "Heaven´s night" (previously released on 3"CD-R) and "Subterranean scenery 01". The emphasis on “ghost sounds” sets this apart from other ambient/dark ambient releases because the sheer gravity of the atmosphere sucks you in and Eno’s definition of ambient as music that is “as ignorable as it is interesting” is quickly broken – you can’t ignore these pieces, they haunt you. The album still earns high marks, though, because it is interesting. I will say that 2005’s Otherside Scenery, tracks 8 – 15 on disc one, are the scariest on tap, and shouldn’t be played alone in dark rooms at night. (Metalreview.com) ORDER THIS ITEM FROM THE OBJEKT4 STORE "Dead world ambience analysis" CD / Ltd. CD + DTS 5.1 CD-R (incl. 3 bonus tracks) (2003-2005) Divinus Solitudo Productions "The four tracks of the “World Of Ruin” 3"CD-R have been extended with another four tracks (one of which we already know in a Roof Mix version: 'A Sky Of Bloodstained Steel'). I was a bit skeptical when I read that the songs of “World Of Ruin” were rearranged and put on an album CD with other pieces. But I'm very glad to conclude that Objekt4 has been able to maintain and even expand the mood of “World Of Ruin” with his new “Dead World Ambience Analysis”. And that's a real treat, because the more of this music the better. The new songs are very convincing expansions of the four “World Of Ruin” tracks and even strengthen the mood. 'Winter Robed In Sombre Unlight', the initial ending tune of the 3” cd-r is followed by 'Morning Dew On Sunless Shores' and with it, Anders shows he knows his way in the ambient world: the song that was a very convincing ending, knows another extension and even better ending of an ambient trip. Objekt4 continues his strong work: this is ambient like it is supposed to be. All that remains is a delightful and dreamy album. 9/10 (Gothtronic) ORDER THIS ITEM FROM THE OBJEKT4 STORE "Extermination processing tower" CD (2004-2005) Ravenheart Productions "Objekt4’s Extermination Processing Tower would serve as a perfect soundtrack to the kind of atmospheric horror film that actually scares you, which means no cheap thrills. Doors creak and the suspense lingers long enough to hear salty sweat hit concrete. It’s hard to believe that something substantial and fairly rhythmic could from a project so stubbornly unclassifiable. The beat pulsates and changes so quickly that you actually feel like you’re in a vortex with a life of its own. Your best bet in enjoying this release is to lie down completely and let the atmosphere overtake you. Gusts of wind, dripping rainfall, and other effects play an integral role in creating an environment that lends itself to an authentic sense of horror. Objekt4’s ability to develop entire tracks that build on separate narratives is impressive. For an atmospheric collection of terrifying sound, it functions as an example of excellence. If I had the money to fund one of my own horror scripts, I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Objekt4 for the score." (Metalreview.com) "The music is very well done, exciting, full of tension, clean and really gets you by the throat. The artwork is scary, the title choices spherical (‘From The Disfigured Void’, ‘From Beyond The Disfigured Void’, ‘A Sky Of Bloodstained Steel’)".

My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 1/18/2007Band Website: objekt4.com Band Members: Anders Peterson Influences: Sounds of everyday life, basically. Not from the chatter on the bus or the sounds from crowded streets, but rather the sounds of the "silent" places scattered around. Abandoned places, empty places, the slums, the spaces left out in architectural blueprints (sometimes inhabitated by homeless). Occasionally one can hear the sounds from the crowded streets, or maybe music from somewhere in the far distance, but it sounds quite different. Mixed with faint winds, some other small noises like paper rustling, a door creaking, and other barely audible sounds. These are the kind of sounds that inspire Objekt4. The "ghost sounds of everyday life". Sounds Like: SPACES OF UNCERTAINTY. SUBFREQUENCIES AND SURFACE NOISE. EVERNEVERSILENCE. OSCILLATING OTHERWORLDS. HYPNOROOMS. IN BETWEEN DIMENSIONS. CALM TENSION. DECAYING DRONES. Record Label: various Type of Label: Indie |
