PETER WHITEHEAD is an instrument builder, performer, and composer.
His singular instruments, often based on folk instruments from
around the world, feature unusual found materials.
Among his many instruments are the Heart Banjo, made from a
baking tin; the Lawn Lyre, made from an old lawnmower and a
metal oil pan; and the Spoonharp, made from a five-gallon metal
drum, a eucalyptus branch, and kitchen spoons.
Originally from England, Whitehead is now based in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Founding member of the Mobius Operandi performance
group, he also performs regularly with Closer To Carbon, an
improvisational trio.
