Artist of the Week: Peter Chilvers

Curated art label Curious Music is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of ‘Dust 4’ – the next step in British composer, pianist, and long-time Brian Eno collaborator Peter Chilver’s evolving instrumental series.
Best known for his 20-year collaboration with Eno on the iOS applications ‘Bloom’, ‘Trope’, ‘Scape’ and ‘Reflection,’ Chilvers’ distinctive approach to composition often blurs the line between improvisation and repetition, using live processing, layered textures, and extended temporal space. In his ongoing ‘Dust’ series, he examines how sound can evolve organically over time, likening his approach to natural systems like weather or moss, where music continues to grow and change after it’s played.
Since 2006, Chilvers has worked as a musical and technical assistant to Brian Eno on projects including the soundtracks to the film ‘The Lovely Bones’ (2008) and video game ‘Spore’ (2008), album collaborations with David Byrne and the Warp releases ‘Small Craft on a Milk Sea’ (2010), ‘Drums Between the Bells’ (2011) and ‘Lux’ (2012). He worked as Assistant Producer on Eno’s 2016 release ‘The Ship’ for which he also helped develop a multi-speaker installation which has been shown in many countries.
As one of the earliest successes when Apple’s App Store debuted in 2008, ‘Bloom’ continues to be fondly remembered. This led in 2018 to a collaboration with Microsoft to produce ‘Bloom: Open World’ – an augmented reality installation shown in Denmark, and ‘Bloom: 10 Worlds’ – a complete reimagining of the app for modern phones and tablets. Eno and Chilvers were also commissioned to create ‘Hypnotised’ – a customised version of ‘Bloom’ for use in Coldplay’s live stadium shows.
Chilvers has toured with Karl Hyde (Underworld) and recorded numerous albums with vocalists Tim Bowness and Sandra O’Neill, as well as several solo instrumental albums. Many of these were released through Burning Shed, the online label he co-founded in 2001 with Tim Bowness and Pete Morgan.
