Peter Ulrich was perhaps best known for his long-time collaboration with Dead Can Dance, the creative band of the 1980s that explored new frontiers of music. Ulrich joined the group in 1983 and appeared on albums like Garden of Arcane Delights, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun and Spiritchaser and was a touring member of the group until 1990. He also collaborated on Ivo Watts-Russell’s This Mortal Coil project, contributing the song “At First And Then” to Filigree & Shadow and also played on the legendary label 4AD with labelmates Michael Brook and the Wolfgang Press as an incidental percussionist.
Ulrich’s Pathways & Dawns released on Projekt Records in 1999 featured former Dead Can Dance bandmate Brendan Perry as a producer and arranger.
Enter The Mysterium (2005) features lyrics and music by Ulrich vocals by Ulrich and Ulrich playing both traditional instruments and a selection of exotic instruments from all over the world.
