The electro-acoustic trio PERLONEX was founded in late 1998 and has performed and toured in Europe and North Americaextensively since then. Ranging from prominent contemporary music festivals to underground noise/punk clubs, from art galleries to obscure improv backrooms the wide variety of venues they have played marks out the musical spectrum of the group.
Through the interplay and friction of gradually shifting layers of sound, sonic interferences, interwoven loops and hidden repetitive structures PERLONEX is plumbing the depth of a rather complex sound material.
The Berlin group PERLONEX's flurrying micro textures and corrupted electro-acoustic zones have taken them on a twisting incursion across some of the most persistently radical and inventive musical fields of thought and experimentation. While the trio have collaborated and played alongside an esteemed line-up of disparate spirits that have included pianist Charlemagne Palestine and Keith Rowe (AMM), its individual members have done time with an even more proliferate array of iconoclastic luminaries, such as Don Cherry, Zbigniew Karkowski, Jason Forrest, Anla Courtis (Reynols), Philip Jeck, The Haters's GX Jupitter-Larsen, Xavier Charles, Valerio Tricoli, Toshimaru Nakamura, Phil Minton, and our own Greg Malcolm. Percussionist Burkhard Beins' Polwechsel has appeared on fabled UK label Erstwhile in tandem with Fennesz and prolific Swiss imprint Hat Hut, alongside AMM's John Tilbury.
As The Wire Magazine's Nick Cain writes, Perlonex's "music is in a state of constant movement and advance, and though the rate and speed at which it shape-shifts varies greatly, it is never static. Comparison has been made to AMM, and there are surface similarities in the use of layers of sound in the construction of the improvisations, but Perlonex's electronic source material is significantly more dynamic, and the range of sounds it generates broader".
