Both a sound and a visual artist, Peter Maynard works mainly with treated field and sound recordings using a handheld recorder and found instruments - minimal tools that he uses to create sublime and ethereal soundscapes.

Upper Tranquillity Fields embodies the idea of place, of movement, a narrative of departure and eventual arrival. A sonic landscape held and coloured by the minds eye. The title was in part inspired by the work of the 6th century Chinese poet, painter and musician Wang Wei.
