About Sharkweek

Sharkweek is music that's simple yet dense, spacey without being formless, and humourous without being silly.

About this user

Sharkweek is New Zealand-based artist and producer Peter Lewis. Formerly of low-fi weirdo pop duo The Tom Bosley Experience, Peter has been working on his electronica side-project for a number of years. With an ongoing interest in outer space and pop culture, and drawing inspiration from the likes of The Orb, Orbital and Future Sound Of London, he filters these influences through his unique sensibilities to produce something new, yet also familiar.
A rich blend of lush electronica, sometimes-busy beats, and manipulated found sounds are complemented by vocal samples from a wide variety of sources including a NASA scientist (who gave his blessing to the project), obscure infomercials and a fine pair of talented vocalists. You'll hear elements of pop, ambient, dub, and experimental styles in Sharkweek songs, but there's always something recognisably "Sharkweek" about them! It's music that's simple yet dense, spacey without being formless, and humourous without being silly.
