Bio

Well my name is Peter Joll and PTR is the name of my music project, which consists of synthesised melodies, with a strong sense of atmosphere contained within songs with a hard rock sort of arrangement/structure to them.

I'm from Hereford in the UK and my musical roots are in the the Metal genre and I play guitar in that vein, but I really enjoy writing and playing on my digital piano, which I often then sequence and turn into synth-driven music on my mac. 2012 will be my first FAWM and I'm thinking of doing something a little more ambient. Could pan out completely different but only time will tell!

I'd like to practise my remixing skills a bit so if you if you can provide stems/multi-track files and would like a remix done, let me know! Genre isn't important so long as it's nicely in sync with a tempo so i can easily cut parts and loop, etc...

And if you happen to be reading this and would like to hear/free-download some of my music, click the little icon above that looks like a bit like this: [/ /] It's my bandcamp page, and then if you like what you hear, perhaps "like" me on facebook if you would like to keep any eye/ear on my future music? Cheers guys

I will most likely be tagging my music with the tag "FAWMtronica" based on the idea suggested in this thread: http://fawm.org/forums/thread/2623/

February Album Writing Month (FAWM) is now over and I'm now left with a lot of song recordings as a result! Although I plan to further develop many of the songs for future use, I have compiled all 14 song recordings I created during the FAWM challenge into a downloadable album that will be publicly available up until the end of March. The album will then be taken down on Sunday 1st April.

I'd like to thank everybody for their support, I hope you enjoy!

Do you have any specific sound you're looking for with your stem files? Honestly I cranked it up on Pro tools and its ounds good as is.

definitely more passive in the main vocals and lyrics department. what can i say, im burnt out
mooingmenace 3 months ago

Thank you. I'm definitely cool with it that. The only reason I don't have anything that streams from the site is because I have to sign up for the only place I know that will allow that and I'm too lazy to do that... and I wouldn't ever use it outside of February.

I remixed Transgalactica. It's not the greatest thing ever (I'm no good at clean dubstep >.<) but I'm sure you want to hear it anyway.

Also I tagged you as the collaborator because that's what that Calum did when he remixed Steptoe (come to think of it, I'm pretty sure you're aware of that) so I'm not sure if that's what we're supposed to do or not. I'll untag you if you want.

No worries. It was a nice thought

Hey, thanks for your comment on my song "Paradox Peaks"! I know Guitar Pro sounds are kind of terrible, and the main idea was to get a demo done and get my ideas down. What you suggested sounds great, though - I'd love to hear a proper version of the song if you're up to making one. How should I send the .gp5 file?

Just figured I'd pop over here to say that I love all 5 of your songs that you've posted on here (with a special fondness for Transgalactica), and I can't wait to hear the rest of your music through the month!! Keep up the awesomeness!
