Composer, producer, sound designer, label owner and DJ, Peter is responsible for significant, vast appearances on labels spanning the world. His passion for, deep interest in and commitment to past, present and future electronic music enables him to venture freely into an infinite spectrum of musical tastes, sound sculptures and sound scapes.
Born into a family of non-musician yet music lovers, he was constantly surrounded by music, first played on a reel to reel deck and then on his first vinyl records brought to him by his dad. Musical influences include Parliament, Funkadelic, New Order, Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, OMD, Human League, J.M Jarre, Robert Moog and Suzanne Scianni to name a few.
He was first enchanted by electronic music at a early stage of his life,
hearing it for the first time through the speakers while watching movies like 2001: A Space
Odyssey and Star Wars. Growing up in Windsor Canada he later moved to the West Coast, to Vancouver B.C. At 14, whilst attending electronic music courses in Port Moody, Canada and exploring Polyphonic and Monophonic synthesizers for the first time, he decided to dedicate his life to music.
For Peter, creating music and art is a truly hypnotic and breathtakingly pure experience, essential to his being. His desirability for the creation of sounds is reflected in each unique work, with each manifesting for listeners a multitude of shapes, sizes and iridescent colors.
Propelled by a constant need to experiment with sound and art, Peter is committed to taking part in diversified audio as well as video imaging projects. After 18 years of working with and manipulating sound, releasing on numerous platforms and performing all over the world, he has reached a point where sound creation has become as natural and essential for him as taking a deep breath.
Peter’s main and most well recognized project is ‘Echoplex’. Echoplex is a
term often applied to the simultaneous use of multiple echoes, which recur in approximate synchronization with a musical rhythm, so that the notes being played combine and recombine in many interesting and innovative ways.
Echoplex is an honest reflection of Peter’s unique, classic approach towards music making, in which he combines the old fashioned technique of Reel to Reel recording using vintage gear and processing via state of the art digital technology.
