Music
Here is a sample of some of the music I have done. Some of it is commissioned work, other stuff is my own personal music, music done in conjunction with a band or demo work. Some of it may be available for purchase or license either now or in the future, so don’t hesitate to inquire about a piece if you hear something you like.

SONGS & COMPOSITIONS
I recently wrote this “Modern Retro Lounge” piece for an ongoing exhibit and music CD put out by the Maison d’Ailleurs museum in Switzerland. Read more about it here. I hope to release this piece and several more at a later point as an album and project that will be called Xotik Planet.
My current Composer Demo Reel from PJGMUSIC.COM featuring pieces I have done for indie films, ads or other multimedia work. Please visit the actual site for more examples.
This song originated as a piece I did for a movie soundtrack. I then made some changes to it and submitted it to my longtime bandmates in The Last Dance. They added some more to it and the end result is a song called “Cages”. It will eventually wind up on a new TLD album.
2KX is a Tucson based cover band that I recently played bass in. I recorded and produced this demo. Since this is a cover band, it should be taken for granted that we do not claim any kind of credit or ownership for the song excerpts included in the demo which includes songs by Paramore, Pink & Orianthi.
Rocket Surgery is a San Diego area cover band that I played bass in before moving to Tucson. I recorded and produced this demo. Since this is another cover band, it should be again be made clear that we do not claim any kind of credit or ownership for the song excerpts included in the demo which includes songs by Billy Idol, Stone Temple Pilots, James Brown, Cheap Trick & ZZ Top.
Blooze Breaker is a fun little tune I threw together as a showcase of my bass & guitar playing in an electric Blues style.

I just got done approving a bunch of comments on myspace. Really very nice sentiments all around, support from friends and fans of TLD for the move Shawn and I are undertaking. Thanks, guys, we do appreciate it.
Time to move on. Some announcements.

The last 2 days have been somewhat bittersweet. I announced to both The Last Dance and the as yet unnamed cover band I’ve been playing with that my wife and I will be moving out of California to Tucson, Arizona. This effectively ends my role in the cover band since they would have to get More >

Lots is changing in my life. Some exciting, some scary, but hopefully all for the better in the end. I am reorganizing the websites, career, and much more. It’s hard to say how much I’ll post; I’ve never been much of a blogger, but that could change. If the interest is there, I’ll make the More >

I decided to make peterjgorritz.com a combination website/weblog thing rather than have to deal with 2 different things. I also figured it would be easier to design it all using wordpress. I’m kind of lazy that way, though I much prefer to think of it as being “practical”. Speaking of blog, I don’t particularly care More >
