Peter Cole is a self-taught musician, composer and producer from San Francisco, California. Ever since I made my first drum set out of coffee cans when I was ten years old, I have loved to perform, compose and produce all styles of music: classical, punk, Latin, world music, rock, jazz, electronic, new age, experimental. I particularly enjoy combining these different styles to make something completely new. My interest in these different genres continues to influence each piece of music that I create. Using both acoustic and electronic instrumentation, I currently focus mostly on instrumental piano and guitar-based music that moves between classical, ambient soundscapes and World music, as well as more orchestrated and hybrid music for film and/or movie trailers. I enjoy writing music for visuals (film, photography) and often visualize movement, characters, scenes and moods while I’m composing. As some of the song titles suggest, the music on "How I Wonder" was inspired by the dreamy mystery and wonder of classic fairy tales. This album is full of romantic and relaxing piano-based songs that are meant to inspire and make you think! I currently produce music for bands and artists in my own studio located in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I have composed music for small films, movie trailers, the web and other multimedia projects.
