An adventurous fusion of electronic music, mystery, poetry and beauty!
The Basel-based sound designer and film music composer Peter Philippe (Pitt) Weiss is DER TRÄUMER (the dreamer). He brings a new fusion of electronic music, mystery, poetry and beauty to the stage. Cinematic and experimental atmospheres and driving grooves, which he colours with voice, violin, electric guitar and waterphone, create a trip-like listening experience.
As a film score composer and sound designer he gained experience in different fields of sound. He realized spatial sound 3D-sculputres for museums and exhibitions, and he composed fim scores - up to cinema movies like “Manipulation”, played four music instruments (keyboards, bass, violin, guitar, drums) in different bands like “Duure Duure”, “Bi-Kids” and “The Look People” touring through Europe, playing at St. Gallen open air, CBCB’s NY, Diamonds Toronto. 1993 he published “Subway” (re-released 2021 by Bongo Joe Records) and 2001 “zen jazz” a contemplative ambient album. And as a big fan of comics, fantasy and science fiction, he was looking for a way to transform these genres and put them into a musical form.
2014 he started with his new music project “Der Träumer” (the dreamer) after being researching and experimenting on this form for 30 years - like an alchemist! Now “Der Träumer” undertakes musical adventure voyages into dreamworlds. Strongly lead by his vision to bring people back to their own boundless fantasy! Bring them back to their own, self invented fascinating pictures and dreamworlds. He translates dream visions into beautiful, dramatic and mysterious music and spoken poetry. Combining genres and cinematic soundworlds in an unconventional way: electronic, sound design, noise, art rock, funk, experimental, jazz, classic and more.
The debut album GHOSTS was released in May 2022 - digital and as CD. The vinyl LP GHOST-INSTRUMENTAL is in production.
Since November 2022 DER TRÄUMER is on the road with his new live show GHOSTS. In music clubs, fantasy-, comic- and film festivals, art events openings. DER TRÄUMER realizes (if possible) his concerts in 4-channel surround sound!
