Details:
Shimmer Song is the creation of San Francisco-based musician, composer and producer Peter Cole (thats me). Ever since I made my first drum set out of coffee cans, when I was ten years old, I have loved to perform, compose and produce all styles of music: classical, punk, latin, world music, rock, jazz, electronic, new age, experimental/avant garde. I particularly enjoy combining these different styles to make something completely new.

My experiences with these different genres has influenced each piece of music that I create. For my shimmer song project, I focus mostly on instrumental, piano based music that moves between neo classical and ambient soundscapes, using both acoustic and electronic overtones. I like to experiment with musical âmoodsâ while playing with harmony, rhythm and tone. I also enjoy writing music for visuals (film, photography) and often visualize movement, scenes, characters and colors while Iâm composing.

A Minor Waltz is Shimmer Song's third album and is made up of mostly solo piano compositions with some string arrangements, synthesizers and samples in there for fun. The style of this album is more classical, song-driven, as opposed to open soundscapes. I was inspired by the work of David Nevue (who I saw performed recently in the Bay Area), as well as Yann Tiersen.

I currently produce bands and artists in my own studio and I have composed music for small films, web and other multimedia projects. If you're in the Bay Area, or want to collaborate online, let me know!
