  • ol creeper – original piano song by Geoff Peters

    I wrote a short tune this evening – it’s more like a sketch or vignette, and it’s called “Ol Creeper”. Hope you enjoy it. I was in a pretty mellow mood when I wrote this song! Watch: On Youtube Listen: In Mp3, Midi Learn: PDF Lead Sheet or use the embedded player below. Cheers, Geoff

  • New Recording: I Need More by Angela Molineux and Geoff Peters

    My friend, vocalist Angela Molineux, dropped by my place in between her trips to New York and London, and we recorded an original song called I Need More. We wrote this song around three years ago, and it has been good to let time pass and see how we grew musically since then. I would…

  • New Composition: I Spy

    Last weekend I wrote a new song, it’s called I Spy, and it starts off with a “haunting minor” mysterious opening, builds some tension, and then has a cool major-7 bridge section which I really like. I made a recording of it which you can view in the Youtube video player below or view on…

  • Learning new audio software

    I got a Macbook and am trying to learn how to use the audio software on it. So far I am pretty much a newbie. Here is my first “track” that I created using the Macbook. It’s a very quickly put together version of a cool original tune “Surprise Peas” which I would like to…

  • New Composition: Misha’s Song

    Last summer I attended the Victoria Conservatory’s jazz workshop and one of the highlights was taking some classes with New York jazz pianist Misha Piatigorsky. One of the exercises of the composition class involved making up some chords to a melody, and can you believe it, the song from that exercise is still stuck in…

  • A new composition and a cover tune

    Here are a couple new recordings that I made on my keyboard, that I’d like to share with you! The first one is an original composition I wrote a couple weeks ago called “Happy Song for You” (click here to listen). It’s an uplifting pop ballad with some “triumphant” chords. The second one is a…

  • New Composition: A Horrible Accident (Music for a Film)

    Tonight I wrote a new piece, called “A Horrible Accident”. Thankfully no horrible accident actually happened for me lately. This melody really jumped out at me (it’s kind of classical), and I’m sure I’ve heard it before. I put some mysterious chords underneath and a simple major bridge to tie things together. Please click below…

  • New Composition: Lament

    I wrote a classical-sounding piano piece, Lament, that is quite moody and reminds me a little bit of Beethoven and Chopin. (Click here to listen.) Wikipedia says, “A lament is a song or poem expressing grief, regret or mourning.” I sat down and thought I would try to write something jazzy, maybe inspired by some…
