Challoner, Peter

Peter Challoner is an electronic music composer from the UK, born, raised in Nottingham in the heart of Central England. He is not what you would class as an orthodox musician, having had no formal musical training, and the fact that music, although being a major force in his life, for most of his life, is only a supplementary activity to a career as an architectural technician. It has long been stated that there are strong links between music, architecture, and visual arts in general. ‘My job is creative, a design process from a concept form of an idea into a finished piece of construction, and it's the same approach with my music'  
Having been introduced to electronic music from an early age, the likes of Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream and Jarre have formed the basis of a musical education that was later broadened by an introduction to the more abstract ‘sound worlds’ of Brian Eno and Philip Glass.
