about

For some time now, Thomas Peter has been working with sound recordings that he made in various public places in the city as well as in private spheres. In places such as lively passageways, quiet courtyards, clangorous halls, he investigates them aurally the atmospheres generated by seemingly random sounds. What interests him in these snapshots of the acoustic status quo is the complexity, the density ratios and the inconspicuous musical links. Peter transcribes movements, pitches and rhythms, attempting to extrapolate a particular grammar. For the thornbill CD, Thomas Peter transforms this into an extremely abstract and minimalistic form. He varies small musical miniatures encountered, reducing the original recordings to individual frequencies and rhythmic patterns. He uses not only the field recordings for his sound material, but augments these with electronic sounds and recordings of acoustic instruments.
