'Peter Mummé is a sound artist who creates beautiful and intriguing soundscapes, taking the sounds of the Australian bush for his starting point and adding his own evocative music. '.. Terry, reviewer

Australia is a country full of wonderful landscapes - and attendant soundscapes; the music cds are musical 'trips' through various special places - a wildlife sanctuary, several unique areas and a 'quick tour' around half of the whole country !

Many sound recordings have been made in special places all around the country - from northern (tropical) rain forests to southern (cool) oceans - with everything in between

Trips and stays in many special places have inspired music pieces are based on, and use the sounds of, these places ..

.. from Sally:‘It’s nice to know that you’ve been happily trotting around the country and that you’ve continued to be inspired to compose.
I’ve not yet heard the new (shoalhaven, moment to moment) bits on the ABC (national radio) but, knowing your previous works, I’m gladly ordering your 2 new cds ..

Pieces may be as 'simple' as a special bird song, they may be instrumental 'responses' to the sounds, or they may be combinations of both

Whilst some of the sounds and music you will hear may be unfamiliar - don't worry - this is music made for enjoying, for relating better to nature's world with ..
It's inspiration is nature's music, and is always available

'sounds fascinate PM, especially the sounds of australian bush animals and birds. For 35 years he has been recording them meticulously, adding his own subtle musical colours, and creating sound pictures that soothe harried human urbanites'.. Mike, cd and music reviewer

.. from John (about 'shoalhaven'):'I think .. you have the capacity to hear the "important" things. The "real world" and simplicity around us is what you hear. Certainly they are the things that I relate to'

Music cds are mailed everywhere ..

.. from Michael,‘It was a real buzz receiving the package from you, not only because you enclosed the (paddlewheels) cd, but the fact that it came from the actual composer himself!I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my enquiry personally and having enough trust in me to send the cd as well
That night .. I played it a couple of times (and listened a few more times since then!) and, you’re right, I did (do) like it (immediately).the other reason I was so impressed was because of the excellent quality of the production ..
