Peter Tedstone

Peter started playing music at around the age of eight, learning the violin and recorder at school and also used to bash away at his father's piano. During his 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. Read more on Last.fm.
