My name is Pete, I live in Leeds, I play guitar and bass in Vessels and in Transpangaean. This page is for music that I have made aside from those bands....

If you want to leave me a message I'll reply to it much faster if you do it through my website because I don't always have time to check all these pages. Just go to the site and click the contact link in the left hand menu....

I made an EP - the songs that play on the player are on it - plus two more. For £3.50 I'll post you one if you live in the UK - it might cost me a bit more to send one to foreign lands - send me a message and I'll find out how much - or you can buy one at one of my gigs - or you can message me and tell you why I should send it to you for free, and I might just......

Forest of Sound

Efterklang are astounding on record - a fusion of electronics, sea song, rock and ambience that envelops you slowly and beautifully. Live, they take this core of beauty and project it with such force in to the audience that it takes on a whole new life - every emotion amplified, every note laden with passion. If you caught them last time, you know you can't miss it again. If you didn't... well, you know what you have to do...

Bracken , led by Chris Adams (co-founder of Hood), make simply stunning music - walls of ambient sound, dark dub bass and atmospheres, destroyed and re-claimed found sound, all topped with vocals & lyrics from a man who knows his own heart.

James Yates’s solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness.

Thursday: 10/07/2008 @ The Brudenell Social Club, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm.
A Forest of Sound presentation in association with The Brudenell Social Club.
£7 adv / £9 on the door.
Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and Seetickets.

Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him!

Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss.

Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As.

A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.

Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument.
A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals.
"


The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker.
What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film".
He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.

Tickets are £10 and are available from We Got Tickets and Jumbo Records.

Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes."

Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace.

Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill.

Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty.

Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated.

CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right.

James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness.

Camped out somewhere in deepest, iciest Iceland, Sketches for Albinos (a.k.a. Matthew Collings) makes music from the ends of the earth. Utterly unique, SfA has all the musical adventure of John Mcentire, Tortoise or Kevin Shields without sounding a bit like any of them. Mr. Collings makes a sound that manages to be both truly heartfelt and organic, but also encompassing the majestic glacial soundscapes that would make the likes of Tim Hecker or Christian Fennesz proud.

Escalade (aka Greg Sullivan) is a project based in Tokyo, Japan. Originally from New York, USA, Sullivan embarked on a self-imposed exile to New Zealand. Greg makes skewed alt. rock/pop in the vein of Thurston Moore/Hood/Television... and stands way way way apart from his peers. Why? This is music with room-to-breath, with an natural understanding of the perfect lazy melody, calm insistence, and plenty of space to think. Lovely.

worriedaboutsatan are firm Forest of Sound favourites. Why? Guitars that clear out your brain with a true understanding of how 6 strings can make the hair on the back of your neck stand up... all underpinned with the kind of minimal techno Richie Hawtin would sell his new haircut for. Computer music is boring live? No f**king way!

Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them on their first European tour in six years. This gig will be very, very different, and very, very special.

Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. They offer subtle, endlessly evolving stories about the dynamics of sonic texture, at the same time seeming to offer a picture of pure, unfettered consciousness. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals."

Also joining the bill are the brilliant Glissando and Pausal.

Tickets are £8 advance from We Got Tickets and Jumbo Records online and £10 on the door.
