Peter Bruun

Peter Bruun is a Danish composer and sound artist who crafts immersive, often minimalist soundscapes. His work frequently explores themes of nature, memory, and the passage of time, incorporating field recordings and found sounds alongside traditional instrumentation. He's known for his patient, evolving compositions that invite deep listening and create a sense of place and atmosphere. Think quiet contemplation in a foggy forest or the gentle lapping of waves against a shore.

Bruun's releases range from solo piano works like *Dark is November* to experimental electronic pieces like *Positioner / Positions* and the *Thēsaurós* series. He also revisits and reinterprets existing works, as seen in his renditions of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" and his ongoing exploration of the alphabet in the *ABC* series. His music often evokes a sense of nostalgia and introspection, inviting listeners to connect with their own inner landscapes.
