The idea is a return to innocence. A time when money and race and stress didn’t exist like they do today. This allows you to make new connections and see things intuitively, creatively and authentically. This opens new doors for people.
About the Artist
Likely among the well under .0.00001% of the population designated as a "Polymath," Peter's work is an open celebration of the human, spirit, and existence though the bliss of creativity. Peter builds on the legacy of his grandfather, entertainment legend Cab Calloway, and his Grandfather before him Andrew Reid, an important Baltimore post civil war activist. This legacy of social justice, combined with the tradition of community service taught by his mother, Camay Calloway Murphy, has made Peter an expert at breaking barriers, pioneering new forms of entertainment such as this "spiritual technology" which creates immersive experiences for the people of Maryland to enjoy. As an AuDHD, Polymath Peter has a depth of authenticity and the ability to see patterns that create experiences that resonate across both neurotypes, gender, and cultural boundaries. This distinctive viewpoint, called "Homo Universalis" (Universal Person) combined with the arts, somehow creates a futuristic experience that can be described as "genuine human connection," because it builds upon ancient universally human principles and practices. "It dawned on me that my ontology of my grandfather's nearly 70 year career was essentially to convince people to not harm themselves. He poked fun at people who were depressed or suicidal and tried to show them another way." Peter's work is excellent for: The Neurodivergent or anyone suffering from symptoms PTSD Minority groups and the dispossed People in transition Communities or corporate environments Schools or Universities Fundraisers for Non-profits Social impact organizations Your audience can expect: An immersive sound environment that reduces stress and enhances creativity using scientifically-proven entrainment techniques A one of a kind charismatic performance that speaks from generations of this tradition of healing and service An opportunity to work with a Polymath A Compelling production or educational experience Support that includes custom animations, games, music, video, or other media as needed A revolutionary experience that blends pure American tradition with the digital arts Engaging speeches and highly innovative instructional design and UI/UX To learn more about Maryland and America's first people Imagine a meditation experience that will professionally reduce anxiety even in corporate environments, or an incredible blues concert or live performance, or an interactive installation for museums, or production of media experiences make complex social issues such as neurodivergence approachable, understanding and accessible. Peter specializes in creating "wow" moments – where audiences feel connected, understood, and inspired on a deep level. Whether it's a soundbath that makes time stop, an animation that helps your story hit home , interactive displays that educate in a way that is fun and profound, or singing the blues at a beer garden, Peter creates moments that matter. Together we can make moments that matter for your audience.Peter Brooks website Why Peter Brooks is a Modern Polymath Peter Brooks website Artwork Peter Brooks website Games and Quizes Authored by Me
Artist's Statement
My signature entrainment-based experiences have garnered recognition from healthcare organizations, cultural institutions, schools and corporate clients for their measurable impact on well-being and creative potential. Through carefully orchestrated sound and multimedia environments, participants experience: Immediate stress reduction and mental clarity Enhanced creative thinking and problem-solving capabilities Lasting improvements in focus and emotional resilience Deeper connection to self and others Renewed sense of possibility and purpose A transformative experience that will continue to resonate long after our work together ends What sets these experiences apart is their foundation in both science and artistry. By combining proven entrainment techniques with immersive multimedia design, I create environments where transformation feels natural and inevitable. Whether in a corporate wellness center, museum installation, or private event space, each experience is precisely calibrated to your organization's goals and Marylanders today. The time for innovative approaches to well-being and human connection has never been more critical. Imagine, a creative experience that doesn't just meet your objectives – it exceeds them in ways you never thought possible. Please contact me now.Featured Work
