Pete Weiss is a New England-based producer/engineer/mixer/musician. Through his innovative, organic work with artists such as Willard Grant Conspiracy, Two Dollar Pistols, Charlie Chesterman, Bow Thayer & Levon Helm, and Don Lennon, Weiss has developed a reputation as an outstanding producer who can adapt to many musical genres and is unafraid to ignore stylistic convention. Other notable artists Weiss has worked with include Chris Brokaw, Kustomized, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Doug Yule, Moe Tucker, The Upper Crust, Peter Zaremba, Aimee Mann, Lee Ranaldo, Reverend Glasseye, and Mittens.

In 1989 he co-founded Zippah Studio in Boston. After selling his share of Zippah in 2004, he built and opened Verdant Studio, an "open concept" retreat-style studio with artist lodging in rural Vermont which he now uses as a home base.

When not in the studio, Weiss fronts the instrumental band The Weisstronauts, is a member of the experimental pop collective known as Sool, and plays guitar and bass with Orange Nichole. He has scored four independent films, "Methods" (1998), "Metal" (2001), with Sool, "Bad Gravity" (2006), and "The Arcadian Ideal" (2007). His music/audio-related writing appears regularly in TapeOp Magazine and he has served on many panels & workshops at TapeOp's annual conferences. In the early 1990's Weiss authored two books on baseball, "Baseball's All Time Goats" and "Longshots!", both published by Adams Media. Used copies are generally available on Ebay or Amazon.
