From the Artist

This CD brings me back to what I enjoy doing the most. Writing music to a compelling story told through film.

The story follows athletes who are passionate about their work. Their goal isn’t to win, but to push themselves to do their best. It is very similar to my love of music and composition. It’s not the number one record that’s the goal. It’s a personal need to express myself through music.

This CD is a combination of musical styles that will remind the listener familiar with my work of earlier themes and sounds and also surprise you with new directions.

I’m very excited about adding Triathlon to my list of releases. Look for a 5.1 surround sound version of the CD coming in the Spring!

4.0 out of 5 stars Triathlon Soundtrack or Incredible Pop Album?, November 14, 2000

By	Jeffrey T. Heil (Milwaukee, WI United States) - See all my reviews

Peter Buffett displays tremendous musical creativity in his soundtrack album "Triathlon". The album takes you upon a musical journey way beyond the bicycle, swimming pool or track, leaving the listener entranced and inspired. The musical journey opens with a catchy mixture of electronica meets jazz and funk with "Get A Hold of Yourself" and on to "Aqua Marine" that has a retro feel with organ and distorted guitar solos blended with amazing melody. The most inspiring track "All the Time You Need" follows, evocative of a day blossoming that is yours to control. The album moves through at a comfortable pace not cramming long-winded solos down your throat. Just beautifully crafted songs. "Race Day" and "Drip" are the best examples of how Buffett clearly intends to challenge the ear as well as the body. The most beautiful song on the album is "Touch the Clouds" reminding me of a 'siren' call. Buffett's alchemy of turning an otherwise potentially dull or predictable project into an album that has to be heard will leave you more than satified hitting the repeat button on your CD player rather than eject.
