Biography

Early years

Norbert Walter Peters finished his musical education at the Aachen academy of music in the subjects of guitar, singing and Renaissance lute in 1981. The subjectmusic theatre[1] as well as scientific research works[2] had been a further main point in his musical education.[3] He completed his education with studies of composition.[4] Beside his pedagogic and artistic work Peters was just so active as music reviewer and free journalist.[5]

Career

Peters composed music for ensemble and made concerts as lute player until he 1987 came in contact to fine artists from the milieu of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. The artistic activity of Norbert Walter Peters thereupon distinctly changed: he created performances and sound installations just as picture objects. Some pictures are represented in collections and in the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum of Aachen.[6]

Also in this time Peters organized two events with international artists: the sound art event ...KLÄNGE at the castle of Stolberg (Rhld.)[7] and the performing arts event of the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein of Aachen.[8] Afterwards he was guest lecturer at the Saarbrücken Academy of Fine Arts (composition and space experience). From December 2020 to May 2023 he was artistic director of the successful streaming event series #coronawinter 2020/21/#klangraumFinkenberg 2021/22 / #klangraumFinkenbergZwei 2022/23 (streaming-hybrid) on the YouTube channel Stolberg Evangelisch in the Protestant Finkenberg Church in Stolberg.[9]

Since 1999 Peters conceived hear pieces for the Radio Arts. Norbert Walter Peters has been able to realize a number of his sound installations,[10][11][12] radio pieces,[13] theatreproduction [14] and instrumental concerts[15][16][17] by orders for composition. By radiophonic productions of the Deutschlandradio Kultur Berlin[18][19] and Radio France Culture Paris.[20]

Since about 2013 he has also been developing multimedia compositions, which he publishes as video art contributions on his YouTube channel. In addition to the video work Depot, a. o. t. Tide I - IV and other video works such as the multimedia composition # 137 belong to this complex of works.[21]
