The Los Angeles Logic Pro Users Group invites composer and Logic Pro virtuoso Peter Schwartz.
Peter Schwartz is a veteran of the NYC music scene. He has worked as session keyboardist, synth programmer, orchestral arranger, and musical director for a veritable Who's Who of musical luminaries: Enya, Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, N'SYNC, Hanson, ...and many more! Peter is well-known in the dance music world as a key figure in the sound of reknowned DJ/Producers David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, and Shep Pettitbone's legendary remixes. He has recorded tracks and written arrangements for a wide variety of producers, including Phil Ramone and Josh Deutsch.
Peter has worked as a product specialist for the Synclavier, and as a synthesizer design consultant and sound programmer for Korg's M1, Wavestation, Prophecy, their flagship OASYS, and many other synths. He is currently making his foray into the world of film scoring, having recently completed work for Disney and Mattel, not to mention having scored dozens of independent films. He currently lives in NY with his wife Sharon and two beloved dogs. For fun and relaxation he's studying bass clarinet which he likens to "a tunable didjeridoo, as well as a mean source of square waves".
