supported by

Geoff Stewart This album has always - for me at least - encapsulated peter’s music perfectly. Once you claw your way past the (intentional) noise, you find compositions of surprising beauty and subtlety. Most-highly recommended! Favorite track: not lost - forgotten.

about

"is" was originally released back in 2008/9, but then quickly disappeared - it had a brief resurgence in 2010 - very brief - & hasn't been available anywhere since then. i've tried my best to re-master it from the files i could find - some tracks more successfully than others, & i've added an out-take track that didn't make the original version. putting this up here now makes my full catalogue of works complete. this was always a difficult, noisy, & intense set of works, & it was never "right" or "perfect", & it is no less so now, in these re-mastered versions. thank you.
