Pete Whittaker

Pete Whittaker was born and grew up in Wolverhampton, in the West Midlands region of England,UK. From an early age he was fascinated by all things musical, and as a youngster attempted to teach himself guitar and clarinet, while having lessons on piano and violin.

Through his school years, Pete did the usual thing of singing in choirs, playing violin (and viola) in the school orchestra (and later in the Wolverhampton Youth Orchestra), but also joined and formed teenage rock bands in which he played guitar and occasionally an old Hohner Pianet electric piano (all amplified via an insanely cumbersome system, far too big to be wholly contained within the boot/trunk of his parents' Austin Allegro - what a car!!).

Moving on to the University of East Anglia, Pete gained a music degree, and got interested in electroacoustic music
