about

The loops that I played during my 38 minute gig were based on three drum tracks that I had created in my home studio using the random functions of GrooveAgent. Everything else was played and looped live, and there were no compositions - except for the drums, everything was improvised.

Matt Stevens's festival blog relates that I "used a screwdriver to play the guitar and came across as a one man King Crimson". Well, I wouldn't go as far as that ... but listen for yourself. The screwdriver was used at the beginning of track 3.

Andrew Booker, Improvizone drummer:
"It was a pleasure to get to listen to Michael Peters without having to concentrate on playing at the same time. His pieces built unhurriedly as he exploited the whole range of his gear and tools. And I got to see what that little multicouloured battery-powered fan was for. Normally in Improvizone gigs we establish a key to start playing in. Michael didn't appear to. The tension and confusion in his initial angular bass lines gave way to complete cohesion and harmonic sense as he added MIDI synth layers and textures (that's a drummer saying it didn't sound atonal). Excellent."
