Peter Chilvers

Thrilled to have finally released Dust 4, my first full album on Curious Music. It was written in tandem with a beautiful 60 minute video by Dion Johnson, whose stunning drone footage perfectly captures the landscapes that inspired it. youtu.be/fBqbGQOPi58?...

I chatted with Peter Chilvers about how (and why) he and Brian Eno created generative art and music app Reflection. www.tapsmart.com/features/cla...

Had a great time yesterday talking with Claudio Bustamante - who knew far more about my career than I was expecting! youtu.be/SWbv3Ku9X-s?...

These death masks of Isaac Newton, Oliver Cromwell and John Keats are doing my head in a little. It’s not like seeing a photo or a painting, there’s a real sense a physical person. They were hiding on a bottom shelf in the wonderfully eccentric Wisbech and Fenland Museum. Well worth a visit.

This remix of Glacial Lake by @foveahex.bsky.social was released 10 years ago. I’ve only done a handful of remixes, but think this is my favourite. A profoundly moving song by a deeply original band. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d7T...

Pure, by touch guitar virtuoso Markus Reuter @olderthangod.bsky.social and electronic music guru Ian Boddy is free to download / pay what you like until the end of October. There’s something really special about this hypnotic album, listen here: dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pure-d...

Listen again: This is not a disco / 09th September 2025 Playing tracks by wolfgang perez, sheldon agwu, zakè spieth guentner, sadeedo, peter chilvers and more. www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/this...

Review | Peter Chilvers - Dust 4 by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "You know that this will be a mournful time of looking at the destruction and the abandoned buildings will make you go inside and think of a place that once was, has now been stuck in the past." echoesanddust.com/2025/08/pete...

Curious Music wanted to make an atmospheric music video, a live performance, and an interview explaining how a track was made. So filmmaker Dion Johnson and I set about doing all three simultaneously: youtu.be/BhntdvhURVk?...

Very pleased to announce Dust4, my first full length album for Curious Music, alongside stunning coloured vinyl editions of the Dust 1-3 EPs. www.curiousmusic.us

I had one of the weirder moments in a weird life last night when I realised that the Black Mirror episode Playthings was inspired by Creatures, a game I worked on in the 90s. Charlie Brooker reviewed it at the time, and apparently it stuck in his head.

This collaboration between Nils Frahm and Robert de Niro is currently playing on 6 Music. A 15 minute mixture of grainy folk orchestra and spoken word. Absolutely stunning.

A glorious glimpse of the Britain I was born into. A beautiful insight into the era that produced Monty Python. youtu.be/p8fOJdmSbdU?...

I didn't realise Brian Eno had worked with Marianne Faithfull, contributing synthesiser, effects and arrangement to this bleakly beautiful track from her album with @warrenellis.bsky.social RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjo...

This week's Buried Treasure is the limited yellow vinyl version of California, Norfolk (2002), the debut album from Tim Bowness and Peter Chilvers. Numbered first edition of 100 copies with signed postcard. burningshed.com/newsletters/... #musicfeed #musicsky

@bob-boilen.bsky.social Nice to (kind of) meet you this evening. Thanks for being the first to play Bloom all those years ago!

I’ve just had it confirmed that I correctly remembered a joke by @boothbygraffoe.bsky.social despite only seeing him perform live once, thirty years ago. If that’s not a good recommendation I don’t know what is…

If you’re a creator or work in the creative industries or otherwise have a heart, then please add your voice to this UK Gov consultation on AI and Copyright. I said ‘freelance’ for company and ‘unsure’ for super-granular legal stuff but made my voice heard. You can too. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Today’s adventure in crisp land: KFC flavoured crisps from Germany. Like regular Walkers chicken crisps with a sachet of black pepper per crisp. Oddly compelling.

Bloom: 10 Worlds, first released in 2018 is available again on Android. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

@andrewhunterm.bsky.social Found another for your “names that work as sentences” collection.

Some real gems for vinyl collectors in this prize draw for EarthPercent, an environmental charity co-founded up by Brian Eno. Includes rare items from Eno, John Lennon, REM, Coldplay, The Cure and more. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/music-priz...

Apparently I’m playing live on Sky Arts at the moment, surround by lots of people with the “Eno” surname.

I just stumbled across this video of one of the biggest and most fun gigs I've ever played, with Karl Hyde at Fuji Rock in 2013. We were joined by Karl's daughter Tyler, now better known for playing with Black Country ; New Road. I think it was her first gig. youtu.be/kQlRUNneZf0?...

I woke up with No-Man’s cover of Nick Drake’s Road going round in my head this morning. It’s much more programmed and precise than the original, but brings out things I hadn’t really noticed before. youtu.be/xtWFotkIBU4?...

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Nick Drake passed 50 years ago today; and initially, I was going to post Road, or something darker from Pink Moon. But instead, here's something more uplifting, to celebrate, rather than mourn. youtu.be/EZ5X4qesLRs?...

A thrill to see Laurie Anderson’s epic multi-media show in Manchester last night. An enormous, apocalyptic sound generated by a three musicians on stage, and some ghosts offstage.

I'm putting together a starter pack of audio developers, I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find them. Any suggestions welcome... go.bsky.app/TJykYAM
