White Magick stretches the boundaries from PB's previous three recordings as it now utilizes rhythmic elements via real time drumming as well as sampled drum loops (What Page Is That On?, White Magick, Eastern Front, Ashkenaza II, Head Shot...Just The Facts Please and Don't Look, Just Wave) courtesy of Colin Biedermann. The music written during this period harkens back to PING phase II, albeit with more modern electronic processing equipment. The recording ebbs and flows with solo acoustic pieces (The Clearing, A Cafe...Somewhere and Jansch) as well. The proceedings close with a meditative solo electronic PB piece (Peaceful)...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................PB's music covers a lot of ground.

Review by John Hammel - Home Grown Radio NJ http://www.homegrownradionj.com/"Mozart To Motorhead" Internet radio show - Saturday 9:00 am - noon ...his music universe continues to expand...Science Fictiony and weird or by turns downright folkishly sublime, Peter turns the music and the listener inside out and upside down, expansively pleasing in the most graceful way. Full of humor, whimsy and depth galore. Wise, wonderful stuff. Time Out Magazine described Peter's music as"avant folk" during a promotion of one his numerous live performances on WFMU's Irene Trudel show www.wfmu.org/~irene
