Michael Peters
Michael Peters is a German guitarist and composer who often uses livelooping in his solo work. His popular ambient album 'Stretched Landscape #1' and his experimental sound diary album 'MY2K', containing 366 sound miniatures, both received critical acclaim from the renowned WIRE magazine.
The store sells several other solo CDs and mp3 downloads of Michael's music, as well as his first released guitar / livelooping music, on the 1984 album from the band 'Camera Obscura'. Some of his ambient synthesizer music from the same time (some of it including livelooping) is available for download.

NotesNot to be confused with the Belgian/ French Industrial group of te same name, the debut LP of Germany's Caera Obscura is one of the most enchanting electronic records of spatial music I've heard in a long time. Consisting basically of two syntheseisers and two guitarists, they set up a soaring soundscape of ethereal ambiences filled with intertwining waves of electronics and guitar tones. Comparison with Fripp / Eno and perhaps Vangelis aren't too far off, but Camera Obscura lacks both their intellectualism and instead creates a more organic, evolving sound that effortlessly combines softness with heavy dynamics in a breathtaking way. Great stuff, give a listen. Eurock Review ca. 1984 |
