Peter Hammill is an English musician and recording artist, known for his skills as a singer/songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and producer. Born on Bonfire Night, 5 November 1948 in Ealing, west London, UK, he is best known as the co-founder of the British progressive rock band Van Der Graaf Generator.
With a career spanning several decades, Hammill has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. His unique blend of musical styles and thought-provoking lyrics have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide.
Influenced by artists such as *Caravan*, *Hatfield & The North*, and *Gentle Giant*, Hammill's music pushes boundaries and challenges traditional conventions. His collaborations with other talented musicians like *Anthony Phillips* and *Phil Manzanera* have resulted in captivating albums that showcase his versatility.

X/Ten is a live album, drawn from Peter Hammill’s 2018 tour versions of material from his 2017 studio release, From The Trees.

From the artist: “Something of an oddity, this release. For the first time ever, I believe, I performed all of the songs from my latest album, From the Trees in the course of my tours at the end of 2017 and the start of 2018. One of the guiding principles behind the recording of Trees was that I’d be able to do versions of all the songs in a stripped down, one voice, one piano or guitar form before starting the recording proper. This collection, then, squares the circle, consisting of live solo performances of the entire album, fully informed by the arrangements which the originals featured on disc, yet also true to the original spirit in which they were written.”
