The loss of Peter Rehberg prompted the $ pwgen 20 collective to express their grief by making music in his honour. This activity snowballed into a larger collaborative project as more and more artists expressed a desire to contribute. The result is a collection of 32 tracks by friends and fans of Peter including many whose music has been released via [Editions] Mego. The album was released on 22/01/2022, which marked 6 months since we lost Peter. The album is free/name-your-price, but any proceeds are going directly to Editions Mego to cover expenses.

$ pwgen 20 is a collective established by Ian M Fraser and Victor Moragues. The group initially coalesced around the project of making music with pulsar synthesis using Marcin Pietrusewski’s NuPG software. This led to the release of 3 compilation albums: Pulsar.scramble followed by Pulsar.scramble volumes 2 and 3. The Tokinogake collective also contributed to the tribute to Peter Rehberg by making a promo video, and many others contributed, especially C Lavender.
