Finn Peters

"After the best part of a decade immersed in dance, hip hop, Afro-Cuban, electronica and contemporary classical musics, flautist and saxophonist Finn Peters returned to his jazz roots with Su-Ling (Babel, 2006)."[1] This was followed by Butterflies, which added "strings, a Balinese gamelan ensemble, kora, synths, a few choruses of birdsong and some inventive sound processing".[1]

Finn Peters is a flautist and saxophonist.

The Finn Peters Quintet (or 'Finntet') won the best jazz group category of the BBC Jazz Awards in 2007.[2] His Music of the Mind album "explores the possibilities of music coupling regular ensemble playing to computer sounds generated by directly tapping brainwaves".[3] He has played with Dizzee Rascal and Matthew Herbert.[3]

gollark: Yes, but since they don't turn up on the network as transfer locations, this will involve horrible special cases.
gollark: Also, introspection modules are really annoying and I will have to *compromise the purity of my code* for this.
gollark: I wrote a coroutine manager in 10 minutes ironically for my storage system.
