Peter Cusack is a field recordist and musician with a long interest in the acoustic environment. He initiated the “Favourite Sounds Project” to discover what people find positive about everyday soundscapes and ‘Sounds from Dangerous Places’ that uses sonic journalism to investigate places of major environmental damage in such places as the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the Aral Sea, Central Asia and lignite mining areas in Europe.

He plays improvised music on guitar and field recordings, is a member of CRiSAP, University of the Arts, London, and in 2011/12 was a guest of the DAAD Berlin Künstlerprogramm. More recently he has become involved with radio.aporee/radio.earth, remote audio streaming, soundwalking and making music with the sound environment as a participant. He has also developed ways to play field recordings ‘live’ in performances with other musicians and as a soloist.
