Peter Laurence Gordon studied at the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College, and plays saxes and other winds, as well as keyboards. He organized the "Trust in Rock" concerts of art rock in 1976 at the University of California, Berkeley, and produced many records by artists including early Laurie Anderson, Arthur Russell, and David Van Tieghem. Gordon's many film scores include incidental music for Steven Spielberg's Joe Versus the Volcano. He founded the Love of Life Orchestra, and is a veteran of many international tours. His works included the opera The Strange Live of Ivan Osokin (1994), settings of Kathy Acker songs, and a collaborative theater work at BAM, Otello. After 1995's Peter Gordon and the Love of Life Orchestra Quartet, he issued 1996's Yellow Box. Over the next two decades, Gordon continued to work steadily, scoring films and television, composing, and teaching. He began to experience something of a revival in indie rock circles when LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and Pat Mahoney sampled his work, which led to DFA issuing remixes of some of Gordon's work with Arthur Russell in 2010. Gordon's next mainstream crossover happened in 2016, when he collaborated with Tim Burgess of the Charlatans on the full-length album Same Language, Different Worlds. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny
