Neal Peterson is an artist, designer, and musician—but not necessarily by a singular title. His work alone best illustrates the daunting, multidisciplinary approach he takes to expressing his visions and concepts.

As time progresses, we have continually seen Peterson's convergence of art and music—from the organization of sonic elements in his recordings to the visual aspects displayed in his cartography and abstract works of art. The most current and remarkable example is his 2009 EP—Chaos Theory, Explained. With Chaos, we can hear design in the precision of the electronic beats and see art in his guitars and melodic, vocal reflections on life and death.

Peterson began his musical exploits at age 16 in his home state of North Dakota (he now resides in Minneapolis, MN). Armed with a guitar, a 4-track recorder, and an early diet of The Beatles, his experiments progressed year by year. Throughout college, while studying art and design, he played bass guitar and wrote songs in the alternative rock band Curious Yello. After the successful production of their debut album Wish (2001) (with the help of Grammy nominee David Swenson), a sponsorship by a National brewery, and countless live performances, Peterson embarked on a solo career releasing a collection of bedroom demos titledSongs for the Whiskey Convention (2003). Four years later, upon completing his Master's degree in Fine Art, he released the progressive, acoustically-driven album Riot in Luxury (2007).

As Neal Peterson embarks on his personal, modern-day Renaissance (which he may refer to as "the Revolution"), he is bringing both sound and vision to the far reaches of the globe.
