Biography
Cole Peters (b. 1985) is a multidisciplinary artist fascinated by matter, energy, space and time, and the ways in which these forces shape our universe, our environment, and our perception. With a focus on physicality and temporality, his work emerges in compositions that emphasize material properties and processes.
Cole’s work in sound builds on the methodologies of musique concrète, field recording and reductive synthesis. His recorded works and performances examine texture, pressure and phenomenology as scaffolds in an evolving thematic framework drawing on the natural sciences and sensory experience.
His recordings have been published by Unfathomless (Belgium), LINE (US), Park 70 (US), Room40 (Australia), Makade Star (Canada), Grisaille (Germany), and Presque Tout (France). He has performed alongside local and international artists in Canada and the UK.
Cole’s work in the visual arts, encompassing photography, paint, mixed media and video has explored themes of formalism, information paucity, entropy and geography, both as extensions of his work in sound and as independent works.
He is currently based on Treaty 1 territory in the country presently known as Canada.
