First, mix decades of songwriting, composition, production, and recording with introspection, activism, and international reconciliation work. Then add an incredible group of seasoned musicians, all with unique styles, and you get the recordings from remarkable musician/producer/artist Peter Hwosch. Hwosch's music is engaging and poignant. It can be haunting, beautiful, rhythmic, or intense. His guitar playing ranges from intricate finger picking to rhythmic and percussive, while his lyrics explore a wide range of deeply personal, social, or global issues that penetrate without being pretentious or preachy.

Hwosch Productions Mission Statement Hwosch Productions is interested in blurring boundaries, raising awareness, encouraging diversity, and expressing compassion, emotion, and conviction through music/sound, video/imagery and art at large. We often incorporate reconciliation and bridge building themes in our work and strive to connect the dots between who we all are, what we may feel and believe, and what is produced. We are committed to bringing better understanding and deeper connection between people and cultures around the world through the creative arts and media. To this end we cross borders both physical and metaphoric to experience, express and communicate the beauty, heart, suffering, and creativity that binds us all together. Personal Statement 'I am dedicated to creating change through recognition of our common humanity, by including the 'other' and listening compassionately to those we disagree with. Diversity is humanity's beauty and strength, and provides the creative foundation for solving the challenges we face, and finding the connection we all crave. There is no 'us and them, there is only 'us' Peter Hwosch.
