About
Peter R. Meyer is a cassette-based record label with roots in the experimental and underground music scene of the early 1980s. The label's output, as evidenced by its archival releases, focused on avant-garde and experimental music, with particular emphasis on the Swedish artist Nattövning. The label operated during a period when cassettes served as a primary format for underground and independent music distribution, reflecting the DIY ethos prevalent in experimental music communities of that era. Between 1982 and 1984, Peter R. Meyer released multiple recordings by Nattövning, including "4 Ektoplasma" (recorded April 1982) and subsequent numbered installments, suggesting an ongoing artistic collaboration. The label's significance lies in its role as a document of early 1980s experimental music practice, preserving works that might otherwise have remained obscure within underground networks. While limited documentation exists regarding the label's broader philosophy or complete artist roster, the catalog indicates a commitment to supporting experimental electronic and avant-garde music during a formative period of underground culture.
