Info zu Peter Gregson

Der preisgekrönte Cellist und Komponist Peter Gregson präsentiert sein lang erwartetes, selbstbetiteltes Album: eine Sammlung von neun zeitgenössischen Songs ohne Worte, die seinen charakteristischen Cellosound und seinen selbstgebauten modularen Synthesizer zur Geltung bringen. Gregson beschreibt das Album als „das, was dem, was ich in meinem Kopf höre, am nächsten kommt“. Es ist das selbstbewusste Selbstporträt eines Komponisten und Interpreten, der sich auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Vorstellungskraft befindet. Während der Aufnahmesitzungen in Peter Gabriels Real World Studios erreichte Gregson seinen idealen Klang, indem er sein Cello durch seinen selbstgebauten modularen Synthesizer laufen ließ, der es ihm ermöglichte, jeden Klang, den das Cello erzeugen kann, einschließlich grober Kratzgeräusche und subsonischer Geräusche, für expressive Zwecke zu nutzen. Das Ergebnis ist eine Sammlung von lyrischen, atmosphärischen Vignetten, die zusammen die endgültige Darstellung von Peter Gregsons künstlerischem Schaffen bilden.
