I'm a guitarist but I have always used electronics and strange devices to make my guitar sound unusual, and loop delays and computers to construct unusual pieces of solo music. On several of the pieces on this page, I've used granular synthesis to tweak, transubstantiate, transmogrify musical sounds and field recordings.

- 42 Guitar Miniatures
From the 366 track MY2K album (a musical diary of the year 2000, available from Burning Shed ), here are all 42 guitar tracks (each of them 10 seconds long)
Stretched Landscape No.1 (excerpt)
"A continuous suite of processed piano and textures, German composer Michael Peters (primarily, a guitarist) has produced a beguiling work worthy of comparison with the best of Brian Eno's Ambient output. Evocative, emotional and chilled"
Available from Burning Shed
A Rain of Grains
Another granular synthesis based remix. The original track is "September 7" from the ambient harmonium diary of Christopher Orczy . A collection of remixes of Christopher's music (including this one) is available on CD - visit his Altered Days website for details
Alhambra Algebra
From Impossible Music , an album of algorithmic music
Norwich Part 3: Live @ Norwich Livelooping Festival Nov 07
What might sound like a band is me alone, improvising and looping to a preprogrammed drum pattern. More details here
Vortex Conga
Recorded in 1999, forgotten, and recently rediscovered. The conga pattern comes from an ancient Emax sampler, the bass was played on a guitar synthesizer and looped with the congas on top of a bed of ambient guitar loops. The guitar solo is in a heptatone mixed scale, at least this is what Raul Bonell said, I don't really know what I was doing here technically, but it was played in the spirit of the immortal Jon Hassell, so it is accompanied by an image of the equally immortal Mati Klarwein
