PETER INGLIS (www.thewholeguitarist.com)
<>I finally got my good friend Peter Inglis in Australia to write a
little summary about himself:
Peter Inglis is a modern day Druithine ** - an musician who tells
stories and weaves atmospheres by improvising, often on popular themes.
Says Peter :"A great thing about making music today is that the
barriers
between musical styles have largely disappeared. People no longer
listen
to one style or just a few artists, they choose music to reinforce or
elevate their mood or complement their activities - like dancing,
studying or relaxing!
"Popular music is the folk music of today. It is what most people in
the
world listen to and where most of the creative energy of musicians is
focussed.
Of course popular music ain't what it used to be! Years ago, before
mass
phonograph records and radio, music had to be performed to be heard and
dissemination of musical ideas and styles was a very slow process. Folk
music back then was likely to be fairly location-specific. Nowadays you
can listen to anything, anywhere, anytime!.
The digital revolution has made made production and distribution of the
artist's work much easier as well. It's a great time to be making
music!"
Peter has led his own ensembles in many styles of popular music
including, Rock, Pop, Latin, Jazz and Classical, on Electric and in
recent years also on Acoustic Guitar. As well as performing and
recording Peter has many more works to publish which will help the
guitarist wanting to perform in several styles.
