For The Stilling Of Volcanoes

pharmacopia is the solo outlet for trumpeter, wind synthesist, composer and producer Peter Dragotta. For over 20 years he has connected his jazz origins with ambient, house, electronica and break beats, as well as elements from hip hop, rock, pop, and classical music melding them into soundscapes of deep intensity.

Peter’s interest in both acoustic and electric music demonstrates his comfort in melding pop, rock and funk, alongside modern jazz. These distinctive sensibilities establish him as a much sought out musician. Peter never studied music formally but was very close to his friends who did study music at William Paterson University where he attended and at Rutgers University where his brother Chris attended. To this day, both schools are known for their excellent music programs.
 

In 2008 he relocated to Manhattan and has been active performing in the city's Downtown Music Scene. Some of the people he has performed and recorded with include Daniel Carter, Demian Richardson, Federico Ughi, David Moss, David Miller, John Blum, David Patrick, Giuseppe Logan, Matthew Putman, Andy Jordan, David Reaston, Gary Heidt, Gunter Gruner, Jason Candler, Jeffrey Shurdut, Rebecca Schmoyer and many many more.  

Peter is also one of the founding members of the electronica emsemble THroNG

Peter also owns and operates a interactive media production company called ThingeeDigital. Working mostly with advertising agencies, his company produces videos, animations, websites and most importantly to him, music. Peter has composed and produced the background music for various ad and promotional campaigns. Some of his current clients include Novartis, Johnson and Johnson, Astra-Zeneca, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Hoffman La Roche, Wyeth, Grolsch, Wachovia, Intel, US-Army, Range Rover, and Ashoka.

Living up to his reputation as a hard-working musician, composer and producer, Peter often works with diverse projects simultaneously.
