Gerald leads through a musical story with his ongoing compositions by combining different elements of prog rock, neoclassical, jazz, cinematic and electronic music.Gerald Peter founded the project in 2014 as an creative outlet when he was a working musician on a cruise ship playing dance and party music everyday. The creative outlet continued when he was working for ROLI as a Seaboard product specialist in 2015 & 2016. He collected many musical ideas over many years by improvising on the piano and seaboard, inspired by his favourite artists over a variety of genres (but mainly prog) and inspired by gradual and drastic shifts in his life (incremental changes). After having a huge amount of music material, he thought it would be a good idea to compose, based on that material, some concert music being able to record, produce and perform his own music without the need of an entire band around him which was at this point in this life impossible to have because of ongoing traveling. In the beginning it was an entire solo project consisting of only Gerald on the keyboard/seaboard and a backing track which was created by himself. But after many living room concerts during the demo phase of his project he decided to bring the project to the next level and add some live drums. He asked his former band mate Aaron Thier from Circle of Illusion, who was a great fit for the project and music. They recorded the digital EP & Incremental Changes, Pt. 1 in 2016 together as a live video shoot recording in Vienna, which was released on YouTube and Bandcamp in 2017. In the years from 2017 – 2019 several live shows has taken place in many different locations, e.g. in Vienna, Nuremberg, Toronto, Budapest and in Anaheim, California at the NAMM show 2019. In 2019 Gerald Peter Project released two new performance videos and singles “Enigma” and “Flow” which are both part of the current album “Incremental Changes, Pt. 2”.GERALD PETER PROJECT incorporates self-made instrument reactive visuals at its live shows, which are created by a MIDI visualiser program Gerald developed by himself. Gerald was working as programmer in his 20s and has a degree in media informatics. Some of his visuals can be seen in the music video of “Flow” which was shot in the 8K projection room “deep space” in Linz, Austria and during live concerts.Gerald Peter, born in 1986, is a composer, producer and keyboardist from Vienna who has already worked for Jordan Rudess Music as a co-composer (for the albums “Rockestra” & “Heartfelt”), for Cirque Du Soleil as a touring show-band musician and for ROLI as an international seaboard specialist and demonstrator. Gerald Peter has previously released albums with his bands Circle of Illusion and Inspirational Corner as well.- 30 –“IT’S AWESOME MUSIC” – JORDAN RUDESS, DREAM THEATER“DEEP, LYRICAL, HIGH MELODICALLY […] BOMBASTIC DIMENSIONS AND DRAMATIC PATHOS […] FULL OF SURPRISES, MOOD CHANGES, DYNAMICS AND THEMES” (translated from German) – BABYBLAUE SEITEN, VOLKMAR MANTEL“[…] OFFERING INSTRUMENTAL ROCK-PROGRESSIVE WITH GREAT PURITY THROUGH SYMPHONIC AND LYRICAL DEVELOPMENTS.” – MUSICINBELGIUM.NET, PHILIPPE THIRIONET“‘ENIGMA’ IS THE CINEMATIC PROGRESSIVE ROCK OUTFIT THAT HAS BEEN MAKING QUITE THE BIG SLASH RECENTLY.
