He is best known as the founder and sole creative force behind IUS (registered trademark I/US Music®).

Early Life and Career
Before focusing on music, Peter studied civil engineering and later pivoted to pursue his passion for sound. He adopted the stage name “Peter Far” to create a streamlined, internationally recognisable identity. In April 2025, he registered the name I/US Music® in the United Kingdom (UK00004243563), covering services including composition, recording, production and performance.
Musical Style and the IUS Project
Launched in April 2025, IUS is a solo project by London-based composer, guitarist and sound artist Peter Far. The catalogue focuses on dark, atmospheric and progressive rock with cinematic and contemporary classical elements, written primarily for recorded release and potential use in visual media. The works range from short cues to longer, structured pieces suitable for film, series, games, trailers, installations and other screen-based formats. Peter oversees composition, arrangement, production, recording, mixing and self-mastering, retaining control of both the compositions and masters.
Artistic Influences
The IUS project is shaped by influences from rock, ambient, electronic and contemporary orchestral music, as well as film, television and video-game scoring. Rather than highlighting specific artists or titles, Peter focuses on form, texture and dynamics, aiming to create material that works both as standalone listening and as music for picture.
Other Projects and Collaborations
In addition to composing music, Peter is an emerging storyteller in the horror genre. He is writing a series of short horror stories and plans to adapt one into a short film. He is also developing a text-based interactive horror game with dark, narrative-driven experiences. These multimedia projects are currently in development and not yet public. Peter seeks collaborators for composing scores and co-writing narratives for films, games and interactive media.
