Who IS this "Pegritz" person?So...you want to know something about the real man behind the legend. Wait. "What legend?" you say?! Have you been living under a rock the size of Mount Rushmore for the last thirtysome years? No? Damn. I guess that I, much like the future in William Gibson's classic quote, am here...just not evenly distributed (yet).
I, Derek C. F. Pegritz, am a lot of things:

But seriously....I am a producer/composer, freelance graphic artist, and occasional fiction author living in the haunted ruins of southwestern Pennsylvania's coal country, from which I derive much of my inspiration. It's like living in an H. P. Lovecraft story
I specialize in producing electronic music of all varieties, from abstract ambient soundscapes to funky disco house dance tracks and everything in between. I also compose (and record) classical chamber and orchestral music, and lately have begun mixing classical composition with electronic sound design to explore new options for contemporary soundtrack design in both the film and video game markets. I am a certified ProTools user and audio technician with experience in both recording and live sound engineering. I have my own small home studio, The Lab, which I use primarily to produce my own work, though I plan on gradually expanding it into a full-scale recording studio. I've engineered projects at other studios such as Mr. Smalls in Millvale, PA, and work equally well with analog or digital recording systems.
