The Hague (NL) based sound artist and composer Oscar Peters has a deep-rooted fascination with the pipe organ. As an active musician in contemporary experimental and electronic music, his recent research and artistic outputs have been focused on the unconventional use of pipe organs and this instrument's sonic behaviour in acoustic spaces. He has designed and created nine of his own experimental organs that have allowed him to further investigate the sonic qualities of these instruments. His album Breath, composed for and performed on his organs, is released on the same label that has featured music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and FUJI||||||||||TA.
In 2023, Peters was composer-in-residence for Rewire festival, where he premiered the commissioned project Echos, that has been written for his self-built organs and features the saxophonist Wietse Voermans and the clarinettist Fie Schouten as collaborators. In this project, Peters delicately weaves together soundscapes that oscillate between hushed noises and lush, prolonged drones, creating a deeply immersive and evocative listening experience.
Since then, Peters has performed his music at renowned festivals and venues such as Gaudeamus festival, November Music, FAQ festival, and London's infamous Stone's Nest.
Oscar Peters will be performing as part of the EMS Showcase at Norbergfestival 2025.
