Peter Howell is a distinguished British musician and composer, perhaps best known for his work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, an institution at the forefront of electronic music and sound effects for television and radio. Joining the BBC in 1970, Howell would become a seminal figure in the evolution of electronic music within the context of popular media. His talents would be most prominently displayed in his compositions for the iconic television series "Doctor Who", a contribution that would endear him to generations of the show's fans. His work on the "Doctor Who - Revenge of the Cybermen (Original Television Soundtrack)" is a shining example of his ability to blend synth-driven melodies with the narrative needs of science fiction storytelling.

Over recent years, Howell has continued to showcase his creative versatility and innovation through a series of releases that straddle the lines between atmospheric soundscapes, avant-garde expressions, and electronic synthesis. Albums such as "Asymptote" and "Through A Glass Darkly" display his exploratory nature in the realm of sound, inviting listeners to engage in an auditory journey that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically rich. His more recent works, including "Yours Today" and "City of Gold", continue to build on his legacy, demonstrating his seamless adaptation to modern electronic music whilst maintaining the distinctive characteristics that have been a hallmark of his storied career. With every composition, Peter Howell reaffirms his position as a maestro of multimedia music composition and a pioneer in electronic music.
