   About GENRE PEAK

gp-banner2out.jpg



GENRE PEAK is the electro-trance-rock music of Martin Birke. An international project utilizing such diverse talents as Canadian singer-songwriter Tara C. Taylor, former Japan bassist Mick Karn , Spanish electro-pop artists Stereoskop, Maximum Indifference bassist Gustaf Fjelstrom, New Sun guitarist/producer Christopher Scott Cooper , French pop act Kiss & Fly and former NUS guitar-synth artist Stephen Sullivan. Martin's history includes recording and touring with his former bands Sandbox Trio and Casualty Park , scores for The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and several independent films . Martin and Stephen are also the ambient band Microsphere.



Ends of the Earth is Genre Peak's debut album . The record was the trio of Martin Birke , Daniel Panasenko and Stephen Sullivan. The band toured regionally achieving a tight unique groove-based sound but after a year they disbanded . Martin decided to re-invent GP with more players from around the world and change the sound of GP from rock to a more electronic-trance themed project.

Preternatural the second album achieved a better produced collection of songs involving new players and singers . Reviews echoed the evolution of Preternatural setting Genre Peak apart from the norm of modern pop and Martin as an original songwriter intent on stepping off the mainstream.

Martin Birke's "playlist" in Sacramento News & Review

Martin Birke introduces GP in Sacramento News & Review 2005 .





" Genre Peak has seriously evolved with the new album "Preternatural", a very coherent and intelligent release. The mix of ambient components and low tempo rhythms has been well executed. The diversity of the atmospheres running through "Preternatural" is another important facet here...."
- SIDE-LINE Magazine

"... In my own opinion this album will appeal to those with eclectic tastes. If you like your post night-out chill music then Preternatural is a good one. If you're looking for something to chill out to after a night on the tiles, and fancy something moby-esque, then consider this album. Preternaturally, nicely done."
- Glasswerk UK

" Genre Peak’s Preternatural is an interesting and entertaining mix of electronica and alternative.The synthesizers are great and so is the percussion.This is something to listen to if you want to hear something very different than what is on MTV or the radio. "
- The Celebrity Cafe

hi!
iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try.
but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...

H. Jackson Brown:
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

kind regards!
