Electro-Cumbia featuring Art Martinez
Noah Peterson is a sound artist. While primarily a saxophonist, Noah does play other instruments from time to time and is guilty of being a vocalist on occasion. He has recorded on many projects and performed with many bands. While he is forever branded a Jazz musician (he's made some lovely jazz recordings,) Noah enjoys a host of genres. As a creator, he writes and records many styles of music and enjoys performing as a soloist and with bands outside of the jazz continuum. His explorations of technology (synths and loop stations) continues to evolve as he dives into his tech searching for new sounds, grooves, and ideas. Enjoy his music.

Take a trip around the galaxy and enjoy the music that paints a picture of the wonders in space.
This is a concept album. I've had the pleasure of being involved in many different kinds of music. My love of "space music" as I like to call it began long before I ever knew. Growing up watching Star Trek and educational films that featured all kinds of new music planted a seed within my ears that grew into a love of sound. In college, where I was introduced into technological music in the 20th century I gravitated to Edgar Varese and his lovely sounds. It seemed to be a natural sound accompaniment to my love of science fiction, astronomy, space anything...
While I've been doing some ambient live looping as a saxophonist, it's not the same thing. This project was me making music that I love with the right instrument for the job.
Big thanks to Blaine Matera for the loan of the synth. I hope you enjoy Ambient Space Sounds for years to come.

About "Bump" - This recording was the direct result of a "Bump" in the road of my own musical journey. The majority of this project took place after the disbanding of my quintet, Miles Ahead, and during the search for players for The Noah Peterson Quartet. Although I released "The Noah Peterson Quartet Live at Biddy McGraw's." in 2003, the majority of the tracks on this CD were recorded prior to that. It is a transitional CD that was originally conceived as an exploration into acid jazz. What I ended up with is Acid Jazz, Jazztronica, Electronica and Techno. All of which reflect the musical areas I was exploring at the time.
During this period I was playing in jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop, folk and jam bands ...meeting all sorts of musicians and interesting people. Zach Spiezer, my main collaborator for this project, and I met in a hip-hop band. We hit it off right away, became close friends and started hanging out, listening to music and recording. That inspired me to being work on "Bump." One hard day of recording, a few sessions of overdubs, ridiculous sessions at "The Roost," a few years, a trip to Chicago, some studio magic and finally this journey has been completed.
I would like to give special thanks Rick Maier, co-producer, engineer, drummer and friend. For his work, his time and every critique that started with “Well, to tell you the truth…” Rick was my hands for this project. Jeffrey Dawkins for our midnight chat on the porch and other divine conversations. My heartfelt thanks to the Groove Crew: Jay Stapleton, Rick Maier, Mark Dixon, Zach Spiezer and the musicians who played on this CD. Thank you to Brian Chevalier, Grover & Joan Peterson, Marina Aragaki, the wives and girlfriends of those whose time and talent was spent on this project, the clubs, radio stations and other fantastic patrons who have supported my musical endeavors, my family, friends, fans, band mates and God Almighty for this fantastic thing called music!
Zach Spiezer would like to thank the following: My family for their unending love and affection, my very best friends, old and new and Rine Boyer for all the support and love during our years together. Also many thanks to James Brown, I.S.P, Amon Tobin, Gil Scott Heron, Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, Sonny Terry, Q-Bert, Mark Kellick for all that you are to me, The Library of Congress, Sylvan Morris, J. Dick, My crew across the land and sea, all of the musicians, who worked as hard as they could for me and of course Noah for being there every step of my way.
