AKA Peter D, peederdee, pdrdI am a musician, technically supporting other musicians in performance and on tour, while developing my own composition, production, and engineering skills. Raised and educated in North Carolina, I worked in Music, Film, and Theater production and performance. Moving to New York City, I joined Studio Instrument Rentals as a Quality Control technician, focusing on keyboards, synths, and samplers. There I gained experience supporting a broad range of artists, and an understanding of concert, TV, and event production. For the last 20 years I have worked as a keyboard tech/programmer on major international concert tours. In the downtime between jobs, I pick up backline one-off gigs, and AV installation and systems integration projects. I have many precious mentors in the musicians and crew I have worked with. Through the years I have continued producing my own music, at home and on the road, from Portastudio to ADAT to DAW. I am consistently honing my creative and technical skills through various collaborations and personal projects.Expertise:Audio/Video systems integration – installation/testing/maintenance/decommissioning – commercial/institutional/production facilitiesSmall studio/workstation/keyboard system design/build/maintain – touring/residentialDAW-based Music Production – Composition/arranging/engineering - Ableton Live/Logic/MainstageAnalog/digital keyboards/synths/samplers/workstations/controllers – Novation/Arturia/iOS/TouchOSCNLE video editing – Vegas/Adobe PremierePlay keyboards/guitar/percussion/cello/voice
