teens Peter attempted to teach himself the guitar without much success, being left

handed was probably a contributing aspect but this didn't stop him being in several

teen bands though.

Peter started playing keyboards with various 'pub' bands in the late seventies and

early eighties and following a visit to the first UK Electronica at Milton Keynes,

decided to launch a solo career and released 'Eve of Dawn' in 1983.

After his third album 'Prismatic' was released in 1984, Peter was invited by Andy G

(of Lotus Records, who sold Peter's albums) to play in the afternoon set at

Stafford Gatehouse Theater at UK Electronica 1986. Peter was then invited back to

the next year's UK Electronica as opening support to the evening headliners,

Wavestar.

Peter continued to release albums up to the end of the decade by which time, with

the advent of digital samplers, his music had taken on a more experimental vein.

Peter then decided to take a few years off and returned to his solo work in 2000.

Peter released the techno influenced album 'Dreamstates' in 2001 and 'Zwölf' released

in 2002 was a very successful album of melodic EM. In 2007 Peter recorded

'Timeslip', the first of his Berlin School inspired albums in the 'Time' series.

Peter has also started a series of space ambient albums, the first of these was the

free download, 'Dark Memories' followed by the 'Origins of Species' album.
