Biography

Name : Peter McCowan
Age : 25
Location : Canada
Style : Progressive Trance, Progressive, Electronica.

Residing in central Canada, I have been producing for almost 6 years. I have been into and involved in the electronica music buisness/scene from 1992, first listening to a pirate radio station, in french, here in winnipeg, and from there started DJ'ing. In this time I acquired a certain ear for electronica music, and wanted to try my hands at producing. It was then that my brother, Dusthead, introduced to me the world of computer and software production. It took me a good 4 more years to really start making sense of how sound works in mono, stereo, frequencies etc.

Now in 2003 I think I have finally reached a level were my songs can carry a melody/note and sound professional. I have had positive feedback from several big name labels as well as smaller ones, as well as the electronica online and offline community. My style has changed dramatically on par with my changing musical tastes at the time. I now find it hard to tackle both DJ'ing and producing with all the time constraints and find the bulk of my time going towards production.
My Inspirations have got to be Josh Gabriel, Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff (Way Out West), Tom Holkenburg(Junkie XL), and numerous others, but they are the biggest ones in my production life... Definite masters of there realm.
