About:

Scottish sound artist and composer Jimmy Peggie uses microsound recordings, electronic fragments and atmospheres as a basis for producing sparse, environmentally based, digital sound pieces.

As an electronic sound artist his practice is not focused on music and the traditional use of harmony, melody or rhythm. Rather, It’s more concerned with sound in all its forms and the way it can be used to convey emotion, and for artistic expression.

His work uses cinematic sketches woven together to put the spotlight on what may be obvious but also what lies beneath the surface - a meditation on small details that are often hidden or lie unseen and unnoticed. Low volume particles, silence, drones, and happy accidents feature on both a noticeable and also perhaps subliminal or subconscious level.

“Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.”

― Marcus Aurelius

With an extensive background in rock, jazz and improvisation his current focus is sound composition, lofi electronics, sonic installations, field recording and interactive art.
