This record is the most personal music I’ve made — the closest I’ve got to capturing the sounds I hear in my head. To have it out in the world already means everything.
Endless thanks to the team who helped bring this album to life, to everyone who has listened and supported.
Excited to share that my latest album, Peter Gregson, is eligible for the 2026 @RecordingAcad GRAMMYs Awards® in categories:
🎶 Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album
🎚 Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical
🎼 Best Instrumental Composition

The day we spent in the studio was such a joy; they shared such vitality and brought an emotional depth to it that elevated it from 'dots on the page' to ‘music’.
Although this started life as a cello and electronics record, after a while it felt like I was artificially restricting where the music needed to go, so I invited my friends Warren, Ben, Eoin, and Kath in as my string quartet.

This album is centered around me and my cello, but heavily inspired, shaped, and performed through my modular synthesizer
Although a solo, record it was deeply collaborative between me and my engineer Greg Freeman & Katie at Real World to create something really sonically fresh

I think about this a lot - how much do we, as listeners, need to be told about a piece of music? Do you agree? Do you want to know more?

My new record, PETER GREGSON, will be out in the world this Friday, and with it, a video for ‘Constellation’. I’m so excited for you to finally hear it all!

It’s something so deep rooted we can’t explain it.
This piece is led by the cello, but questioned by the string quartet to form a call and response at times, which creates a texture I truly love.
Horizon: https://t.co/0wtEW4DPB8
I am drawn to the idea in astronomy of an “event horizon”, where in the context of black holes, nothing, not even light, can escape. I feel this has a beautiful analogy with our most human of emotions; the love we feel for a child or partner which endures all.
This, more so than any other track, is the most closely inspired by the ‘songs without words’ legacy that inspired the record; lots of space for the melody to soar, and nowhere to hide. Ritual is available now wherever you get your music.
Ritual is a piece for Cello and Rhodes piano. I have always loved the textural sound of a Rhodes, which is an electric piano from the late 60’s with a unique, evocative sound.
We recorded it at Paul Epworth’s magnificent The Church Studio, one of my favorite recording rooms in the world. He has a monster Neve mixing desk in the middle of the live room, and a beautiful Rhodes from 1973!
