Somewhere between the machine and the muse stands Peter Callaway — the creative architect behind Velvet Radiation. A sonic explorer with a deep love of science fiction, analog warmth, and dystopian beauty, and bands such as Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Wooden Shjips.

Peter fuses AI technology with human storytelling to craft concept albums that blur the line between narrative, music, and atmosphere.

Each Velvet Radiation project is designed as an immersive world — drawing on literary inspiration, cinematic fragments, and long-forgotten signals from deep space. Whether telling the story of The Machine Stops, reimagining War of the Worlds from a Martian’s perspective, or charting the descent of HAL 9000 into digital madness, Peter constructs these stories as audio journeys that unfold like soundtracks to imaginary films.

But this is no faceless project. Peter’s fingerprints are on every track — from writing and mixing, to narration, arrangement, and design. AI is not the artist here — it is the instrument. A tool, like a synthesizer or tape loop, harnessed to help realize a vision that is deeply human, deeply strange, and always evolving.

If you’ve ever wanted to float in a zero-gravity dream of noise, light, and echoing memory... you’re in the right place.
