Peter Leonard is a Philadelphia-based composer of new music. He writes for experimental instruments and electronics sounds.  Mused by unusual rhythms and microtonality (the use of scales different from the western, piano scale), he seeks to collaborate in dance and film projects. To date, Peter has had advanced musical training in Paris, France (at the school of composer Iannis Xenakis), in India (where he studied the sarod with guru Atish Mukhopadhyay), and at Temple University and Penn State University.  In the Fall of 2009, he will begin work toward a MA degree at Tulane in the field of Music Technology.
