Peter McNamara-Composer
I am a composer of dynamic and innovative experimental music based in Sydney, Australia. I have worked as a freelance composer and producer across a wide variety of genres including orchestral, chamber, electronic, installation and film composition. My work is particularly influenced by landscapes and the physics of the natural world and universe. Composition provides a way to express and understand the world around me and an outlet for the sounds conceived by my imagination.
