Per Tjernberg, a percussionist and composer, has been active in the Swedish music scene ever since the mid-seventies, when he founded the group Archimedes Badkar. It is now a cult. His vast collection of instruments and extensive knowledge of music have been a great asset to many groups, including jazz, free improvisation and rock, as well as latin, afro, and R.
