The special thing about recordings by "The Peter Debik Movie Orchestra" is that everything is played and produced by just one person. The overture to Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" poses a great challenge. The dynamics require special attention in the mix of instruments. The fast playing must not blur the tones even with the reverberation, but must nevertheless remain pleasantly flowing and harmonious for the ear. The elaborate production of the one-person orchestra does not place the listener far away in the hall with the conventional, washed-out sound, but with the unmistakable, crystal-clear sound of "The Peter Debik Movie Orchestra" directly at the conductor's desk of the orchestra. This means that individual instruments can even be heard in tutti passages.

Rescued from old and partially wiped cassette tape of a live recording many many years ago in my mid-late teens, from a concert or audition I don't remember. It must have been important as the playing is really cautious/nervous!

Peter Rolf Michael Debik was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1970 as the son of opera singers Edith and Hans-Joachim Debik. After moving to Berlin (West) in 1978, he attended the British-German Charles Dickens Elementary School, then the Erich Hoepner High School (today the Heinz Berggruen High School), which was characterized by music, art and film. A year in the USA in 1987/88 he graduated with a US high school diploma. In 1990 he passed the German Abitur, in 1992 he completed his professional training as a bank clerk and in 2002 he received a master's degree from the Technical University of Berlin with top grades in communication science and linguistics with a focus on communication technology and signal processing. Gifted and a member of the German chapter of Mensa, he is now the owner of the web hosting provider and software developer Bitpalast.

Although Debik grew up with music "backstage" and attended a music high school he rejected a conventional musical education because of the associated narrow thinking and the focus on reproduction instead of invention. Two years of piano lessons were a declaration of war on a musical freedom fighter and synaesthete, who found sight reading to be boring "painting by numbers".

Instead, Debik can not only hear individual voices from works and immediately replay them, but because of his synaesthesia he can also transform mental cinema into new compositions and decorate them with complex harmonies. He coined the quote:

"Notes are only the manufacturer's non-binding serving suggestion, as he thinks his work should be played."

Since the turn of the millennium, Debik has developed his second job from hobby compositions and today produces songs, instrumentals and cues for TV and film under pseudonyms.
