Last night I wrote a very simple song, and made a pretty silly and quick recording of it using various synthesized sounds. A warning: this is not my best work, but I thought I’d share it anyways in case anyone might like it. It’s better to think of this recording as a rough sketch of…

Last Tuesday I played a gig on piano with Mark White (bass) and Greg Murray (drums). I’ve posted the entire show on my web site. It was at the Happy Honda dealership in Burnaby for the unveiling of their 2008 models. My favorite tunes from this batch are “Day in the Life of a Fool“,…

According to a CBC radio program I heard this morning, a pathetic fallacy is when in writing you attribute human emotions or intentions to non-human things.

“New Endings Old Beginnings” is a tune I wrote while jamming with the amazing drummer Colin Defreitas a few weeks ago. I perform it here, for its “world recording premiere”, as a solo piano rendition on a late 1950’s Steinway. It has an extended improvised intro and then a main melody that starts about half…

I had some fun playing around with my synthesizer and I created a quick ‘n dirty track which I call “Survive This”. Click below to listen! > Survive This – MP3 Audio – 5 minutes – Geoff Peters solo on a Korg MS2000B

Last July I performed at a wedding at Cecil Green Park at UBC, with a great jazz quartet.
