Biography: Oliver Peters (1970) lives and works in Berlin. Since the early 90s he has worked with electronic music and since 2002 he performed as EVAPORI. His compositions are mostly based on concrete sound sources: field recordings, transformation of found footage and the use of self-made sound objects or classical instruments such as piano or cello. Together with Nicolas Wiese [-Hyph-| Peters founded the Label AIC. Since 2006 he has, amongst other projects, set music to the scientific film E 2250 which was shown at short film festivals in Hamburg and the Darmstadt Institute of New Music and Musical Education within the scope of Modern Music in the Context of Technology. In 2008, he contributed a composition to Satoshi Morita’s sound helmet. Recently his current release Rehearsals for Objects was broadcast on Deutschlandradio Kultur in the category Newcomer Werkstatt, a programme that introduces emerging sound artists.
Program Notes: The source material for this recording stems from found objects and specifically treated acoustic musical instruments such as cello, viola, conga, double bass and cymbal, as well as wood, paper, marble balls, wallpapering table and chains. Further sounds have been produced using my voice and limbs. A basic rule for my work with digital tools is to maintain the liveliness of the source material within the structure of my compositions. Yet, the newly created elements of sound differ considerably from the original recordings.
