I've really enjoyed these last few months. Finished a job for Online Production Music which went really well and starting a new project for Focus Music.
The Mispent album will be finsihed in the next 6-8 weeks. The Ginkgo project has finally been mastered at Abbey Road. It has been a long and bumpy road but it feels great to complete it.
Apart from that I've speant my time looking at the sunset thinking "Iam the luckiest guy on the planet". Peace!

Just completed a new cd which will be released through Basstone Music, also done some tracks for Felt Music. About to
start producing 2nd album by London band The Mispent. Happy to see Marina and the Diamonds in the charts, best of luck. Currently writing more music for 2 other companies, it's too early to mention who they are but the style is indie rock.
In the world of pop I've been writing songs with up and coming singer Shantel Rock.
That's a small part of what I've been doing. What I've been thinking is that now is a great time for indie artist to promote themselves. It seems that every day more and more opportunities open up. Needless to say you've got to have talent and if you do, give me a call I'd love to hear from you.
Best

Recently did some work for Music For Sport a UK company providing music for........sport. Also produced a new cd for Prolific Arts. The Ginkgo Music compilation featuring David McAlmont, Kate Walsh and Devon Sproule has been mixed and we're mastering at Abbey Road studios in a couple of weeks.
I've done some songwriting with amongs others Cat Sforza who has previously worked with KT Tunstall. I wrote an article for an online magazine on getting ahead in the music business, check it out: Just discovered one of my old clients is getting serious exposure in the press. Check out Marina and the Diamonds

Just completed some work for advertising agency 'muirhoward' which turned out great. I've also had my music published with US music publisher: www.prolificartsmusic.com and www.royaltyfreemusicrevolution.com which is now online. I was recently contacted by the largest independent UK music publisher and it looks like a deal is going ahead. Will reveal more when appropriate. A new album by 'The Funktuary' will be released in the next couple of months. I played some synths and drum programming for them on several tracks and the first single should be on youtube shortly. The Funktuary co- wrote the top 10 hit 'my my my' for Armand Van Helden.

The Ginkgo project is slowly getting near completion. I recorded a great track by The Nextmen featuring Zarif and frankly they were the dogs ********, ie. brilliant. I also recorded a 18 piece string section for the album and did arrangements for David McAlmont and Devon Sproule with my team mate Ben Rous who also did a great job conduction the section.
Discovered this morning one of my tracks is on heavy rotation on an American TV show which got me exited.

I recently recorded David McAlmont from Mcalmont/Butler fame, also for the same project Classical guitarist Morgan Szymanski. Confirmed is now Universal signed The Nextmen which I'll hopefuly deal with early October.
I also signed another publishing deal in America and currently restructuring my company to include several new partnerships.

I've just had confirmation that David McAlmont from McAlmont/Butler fame will be recording a track for the Ginkgo cd. Last month I also recorded legendary pedal steel guitar player BJ Cole on the Devon Sproule track who is on her UK tour at the moment. Devon will also appear on Jools Holland late Feb.
I've been writing a great deal of songs lately and have 2 new tracks on www.myspace.com/peterlarsenmusic.
Sat 15th Dec
I've recorded 2 more artists for the Ginkgo cd. Devon Sproule from US who
stopped by inbetween dates at the 02 in London supporting Lucinda Williams. I also had the honour of recording critically acclaimed Dobet Gnahore from France. We're getting there.
I've finished Nikki Slades album which should be on itunes soon.
On a slightly different note. I did some work with one of the original Cambridge Footlights members in one of Londons top studios. While entertaining me with stories about legends like Peter Cook etc he also opened my eyes to the American songwriter Tom Lehrer. I am now a fan.
Musically I am quite sharp at the moment so anyone in need of my services, feel free to contact me.
Cheers Peter

Hi there. A few more updates. Got 6 tracks on a new cd from Zone Publishing. Heard one of them the other day on 'how to look good naked' which kind of cracked me up.
The Ginkgo project is moving ahead. Recorded a new singer/songwriter called Valentine the other day. We've been negotiating with American labels, uk labels and hopefully I'll have an update soon on future artists. Negotiating the finer contractual details can be timeconsuming.
I'll put the finishing touches on an album by my good friend Nikki Slade in the next 2 monts.
Also check out this review of an album I produced by the mispent.
Apart from that I've written some new songs which I'll put up soon

It's been a busy couple of months. I've started producing the Ginkgo music cd and recently recorded Kate Walsh who is now no 1 on the itunes download chart ahead of Kaiser Chiefs and Take That. Check this article on times online: www.entertainment.timesonline.co.uk
We're recording one more artist for the album this week and speaking to 2 others about participating.
I've also been mixing/co-producing an album for Frazer Kennedy, worked with a couple of emerging songwriters as well as writing library music for the Zone Label and Boost Music.
Right now Iam in the middle of rehearsals with a band I've put together and that's all Iam saying right now, but will announce some gigs soon.
