| S1E6 Peter Gregson | 10 Nov 2022 | 00:59:57 | |
I’m joined by composer, cellist and deutsche grammophon artist, Peter Gregson. We got to know each other working together as musicians and bonded during lockdown when covid meant that recording studios closed their doors. We both have studios at home which meant that we could collaborate on projects both of Peter’s own and for other composers. We both share an interest in the technical side of recording seeing the technonogy as an inevitable extension of our own instruments. A way to extend the possiblities for ourselves as musicians. His latest album, Quartets 2 and 3 is out on 11th of november 2022, please see the link at the bottom of the show notes to hear it We met at Air Studios in London where Peter has a writing room and where I spend a lot of my working life.
