Sum-1 is the artist name of Tobias Peterson. Tobias was born in 1979 in Germany where his father was serving in the military and met his mother. He moved around with his parents from Gemany to Michigan, Colorado and ended up back in Germany in 1989 at the age of 10 and has been living there ever since. He speaks both German and English fluently and has been working with computers since the age of seven. He is a free lance web designer and graphic artist and has been involved with the design of a number of websites.
Tobias started to play guitar at a very early age and is always looking for new ways to utilize computer based digital electronic instruments into his music.
Albums:
Glumfrex
Glumfrex is the first release of 2009 by Tobias Peterson (Sum-1). It is a total of 19 tracks broken down into two albums for CD or dvd-a. The expanded DVD will feature videos and concept art as well. The first 9 tracks are of a more laid back melonchollie mood set while the final 10 have a more upbeat chaotic twist. The tracks are electronic in nature with a definitive Sum-1 experimental IDM style.
Tobias Peterson (Sum-1) has put together the S1 album containing fourteen new experimental IDM tracks. It follows the summer release of two extended long play (40 minute) session mixes and is a bit more heavily leaning towards his experimental roots in the electronic music genre. This is one of his longest albums to date and has a total runtime of just over 107 minutes.
Tobias played this interesting session during a spring break pool party with friends. Lasting roughly 40 min.
This mix brings the feeling of lounging at the beach with friends enjoying the weather and recovering from the night before.
Altogether a great track with a relaxing chill, ibiza style to it.
Sum-1 AKA Tobias Petersons May 6th Birthday Bash session jam. On the sixth of May, 2008 Tobias turned 29 years old and celebrated his birthday with friends and family this is the jam session he performed at the celebration lasting about 40 minutes long. The song is made up of classic Sum-1 electro, IDM, minimal techno beats and grooves in his glitchy signature style.
Mechanical Monkeys is the second release from Tobias Peterson AKA Sum-1. It is a collection of fourteen electronic tracks within the genres of electro, glitch, breakbeat, ambient dub with hints of IDM.
This album places its emphasis upon the astute use of glitching rythymns reminisant of electronic circiuts and the flow of breakbeat, hiphop and jazzy drumbeats and overtones.
Burnt Toast For Breakfast is the title of Tobias Peterson AKA Sum-1s debut album release on the Togeo Music label. This album is a collection of eleven tracks of electronic style music.
A pleasant and enjoyable first album, Burnt Toast For Breakfast is a good representation of his musical talents and a preview of whats in store.
