PETER BAERT

COMPOSER & electronic artist

Peter Baert is a Belgian composer and recording artist. He scores films, builds sonic worlds for brands, and makes highly personal music. His debut album This Fragile World, recorded with Echo Collective and the Budapest Art Orchestra and mastered at Abbey Road, arrives this autumn.

David Oyelowo says, “Music and sound in film has always been important to me, which is why I consider myself lucky to have met composer Peter Baert when I did…While in post-production on The Water Man, I was working with another composer and had initially cut Peter’s music in as an experiment, and it all just worked perfectly. Within a week, he flew over, sat next to me in the edit, and that's how he became my composer…he totally nailed the tone.”

electronic music

In most of my earlier work, I started making music from vocal material, working with recordings of friends reading random magazine articles, mouth noises, stretched vocals, vocal performances and so on... tracks like "Morphine" , "Neilla Deum" or "Dreampole" are completely made with vocal material, like the mouth noises of Chantal Pattyn.

SHEET MUSIC

For a long time, I have been writing music that never sees the light of day. I am currently working on releasing these pieces on digital score platforms.
