Biography
Percussionist and composer Peter Ulrich gained his widest recognition through an extended partnership with Dead Can Dance that began when he joined the ensemble in 1983. His performances feature on Garden of Arcane Delights, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, and Spiritchaser, and he remained a touring member through 1990. Additional sessions included contributions to Ivo Watts-Russell’s This Mortal Coil project, where he supplied the song “At First, And Then” for Filigree and Shadow, plus incidental percussion for 4AD labelmates Michael Brook and the Wolfgang Press. Ulrich signed with Projekt Records in 1999; his debut for the label, Pathways & Dawns, enlisted former Dead Can Dance bandmate Brendan Perry as producer and arranger. A second solo album, Enter the Mysterium, appeared in 2005. In 2013 he issued The Painted Caravan under the name The Peter Ulrich Collaboration, enlisting Sara Wendt, David Steele, Jen Elliott, Kingsley Sage of Anemo, and Saskia Dommisse of Poets to their Beloved.
