Testimonies

‘Peter is the hardest working professional I’ve had the honour of working with. He is a perfectionist that never strays from his own or your deadline. I’ve experienced Peters’ work, which crosses different genres of film and styles of music, never disappointing and always pushing the boundaries. When Peter becomes a discovered talent you’re going to wish you have the opportunity to work alongside him. With minimal direction he still perfectly captures the directors intentions, to produce the desired effects. He takes every scene and helps narrate the story through music. His work work is nothing short of masterful, and is never just the finishing touch, his music boots the value and quality of anything it is placed in. No join is too big for him, he’s ready for the biggest challenges the industry can offer.’
