Buffett's full-bodied electronic sound and rock-influenced accessibility make his music a congenial transition between the lighter pop instrumentals that have flooded the market and artists who are pushing the boundaries of modern electronic music with more challenging fare. The Nebraska-born pianist went to Stanford University, where he converted his Bay Area apartment into an efficient recording studio that provides soundtracks for numerous advertising, television, and film companies. Upon hearing of Kevin Costner's plans to create the movie Dances with Wolves, Buffett sent the actor a copy of his album One by One, which featured several cuts inspired by the plight of Native Americans. Costner was impressed enough to use some of Buffett's music in the film. Buffett's four Narada recordings combine a flair for drama and cinematic-style electronic orchestrations with his interest in Native American cultures. His later albums feature a progressively more prominent use of acoustic timbres, both sampled and authentic. ~ Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide

“Broken Open” on Staring At The Sun by Peter Buffett

“Nice song. I like the effect on the voice, the matter-of-factly simple guitars and the whole feeling. It's especially cool listening to it in headphones, as the stereomix is quite radical ;-) (oh, not so much, but it's been a long time since I used my headphones! :D )”

“Reminder” on Staring At The Sun by Peter Buffett

“How can you listen to Buffett and not buy these tracks. So smooth, polished and friendly. Sometimes reminiscent in the vocal layering of Alan Parsons.”

“Goodbye” on Gold Star by Peter Buffett

“Good overall vibe... this guy knows what he's doing, and does it well. The lyrics are simple, and work really well with the backing guitars/drums. Check out the whole album, it's worth a listen.”
