Being the birthplace of Psychoanalysis, Vienna is also said to be the “City Of Dreams”. Sit back, relax and let this music be the soundtrack to your subconscious mind…

The City Of Dreams

When strolling through the streets of Vienna I usually come by some nice street art, many of these are faces looking at you like ghosts on the wall. The Wall Painting I used for the cover is called “Lady On The Wall” and can be seen in Neubaugasse. The artist who made it is just another unknown Urban Ghost…

A New Adventure

Dry Martini is the first of a series of songs inspired from my favourite bars in Europe. This first song is inspired in "Die Blau Bar" in Vienna where perfectly crafted cocktails are served in a dreamlike environment.

The Secret Path

Not too far away from where I live lay the ruins of Castle of Čachtice, home to the ghost of Lady Elizabeth Bárthory. Legend says that she bathed in young girls blood to remain eternally young. She was finally trialed for killing over 600 young women. Now all that remains are the ruins and Lady Elizabeth’s Ghost still longing for eternal youth

Gabriel Fauré's "In Paradisum", has always had a place in my heart. The song brings you immediate calm an harmony. In his memory I have arranged a version for electronic music.

In Paradisum

The song intends to reflect your state of mind when experiencing "The Golden Hour", The period of shortly before daytime and shortly after before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer. Many poets calle it the "Magic Hour" . The daylight is redder and softer During this time the brightness of the sky matches the brightness of streetlights, signs, car headlights and lit windows. Also, during this period of time there are no sharp shadows because the sun has set (or hasn't risen).

The Golden Hour

I met Selina Hawker through Twitter. She is a classical trained singer from the UK and although she mostly works with Pop, she misses performing classical songs. We matched the best of two worlds and arranged an Electronica version of Schubert’s Ave Maria. Give it a spin and, if you like it, give it a repost!

Musicians often have to walk the path less travelled to get to where they want to be. Trials and tribulations are sure to pop up, and those who can push through the twists and turns will find themselves exactly where they’re meant to be. Songwriter/composer Peter Sauleda has taken this often crooked path and has found his true musical purpose in the journey. 

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, the journey has taken Sauleda through Sao Paulo, Caracas, Madrid, Sant Pol de Mar, Costa del Sol, Gothenburg, Vienna and most recently Stavanger. Each step along the way imprinting pieces of themselves into him and his music. Sauleda gathered profound knowledge and inspiration through his travels and his connection to each city can be felt throughout his unique, ambient, synthetic sound.

Focusing on downtempo electronic soundscapes that soothe the soul, Sauleda aims to provide listeners with an even deeper experience. There is heavy influence from IDM, Cinematic, and Ambient genres. Each song taking you to another place, allowing for some peace and ease amongst the chaos of our world. 

To capture this unique sound Sauleda reached upon an assortment of musical influences. From classical composers such as Bach and Beethoven to the progressive rock of Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The electronic examples of Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, and William Orbit had their effect as well. In today’s music scene, Sauleda is often compared to such unique artists as Boards of Canada, Thievery Corporation, and Four Tet. This diversity is what sets his music apart.

From his first piano lessons at the age of 7, the desire to transfer emotion through sound became a passion for Sauleda. An album released with Blanco y Negro Records in 2005, and a career producing music for promotional videos provided vast experience. His ability to create distinctive sound design, while never using sound banks or sampled loops, sets Sauleda on a higher level. He is able to conjure fantastic and exotic images within the mind of the listener through his immersive electronic soundscapes.

Now he is focused on publishing his own unique music under the Sauleda name. Finding inspiration in extraordinary events of the past and creating soundscapes that display the feelings of the individuals that lived through them. The sounds, the emotions, the history. All this in an effort to plant his footprint firmly in the Electronic Music scene with a sense of joy for his continued journey into sound.

Sauleda welcomes all people regardless of age, race, or orientation to come along and enjoy this epic journey alongside him.
