Peter Westheimer – Move [LP] (1985, Alligator Records)

Peter Westheimer presents music to inspire, travel, laugh, feel, reflect, dance, enjoy and sees music as an agent of change. He covers genres ranging from World, Electronic, Dance, Asian/Middle Eastern House, Ambient, Neoclassical and original film music soundtracks. His music has been described as "cool and clear, warm and inviting, phenomenal, intertwining musical textures and rhythms, quirky and inventive, exciting and intriguing".  

 

Peter Westheimer's musical journey since 1982 includes releasing 6 music albums, video clips and composing music for two feature films, many television documentaries and multimedia installations. 'Laminex Lovers' (1982), his first record release, is still receiving acclaim as one of Australia's cutting edge synth pop records. The clip to "Move", the title track of the 1985 album was acclaimed as a top 10 video clip that year. 

 

Peter Westheimer grew up in Melbourne Australia and as a 4 year old was 'excited' by 'Music for the People' orchestral concerts in the Fitzroy Gardens. He went on to play violin from age 7 to 19 and in 1967 became leader of the Victorian Junior Symphony Orchestra and violinist in the Australian Youth Orchestra. Then came an 'epiphany' of moving far away from the musical and social confines of the classical music scene to lots of improvisation with other musicians as well as acting and writing with progressive theatre groups. This morphed into playing electric guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, sitar and flute, writing songs, singing and playing in bands in the late 70's and early 1980's after which began his recording career.
