Takee has a conversation with Peter Gleeson of the Spontaneous Choir on SYN 90.7 FM.

Peter Gleeson is an Australian community music facilitator, overtone singer, and choir leader, best known for founding and running the Spontaneous Choir. His work centres on creating joyful, inclusive group-singing experiences that invite people of all backgrounds to connect through voice, movement, and collective sound-making.

Alongside his work with large participatory choirs, Peter is an accomplished overtone singer, exploring the rich harmonic possibilities of the human voice. He weaves overtone singing into his facilitation and performances, using it as a tool for deep listening, presence, and shared musical curiosity.

Rather than focusing on polished performance, Peter’s approach celebrates play, improvisation, and accessibility, creating spaces where anyone with a voice can take part. His sessions are often described as uplifting, heart-opening, and transformative, bringing strangers together through music as a natural human instinct.

The Spotlight

Peter Gleeson of The Spontaneous Choir | The Spotlight with Takee

It really has been a pleasure hosting The Spotlight over the last two seasons, shining a light on people from the creative industries, from artists, producers and performers, to managers, curators, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and everything in between.

It’s been an honour to give these people a platform to share their stories, insights, and experiences whilst gaining some valuable knowledge in return.

This show has been a huge learning curve for me, I’ve developed so many skills and learnt so much, not just from my guests, but from the incredible team here at SYN as well.

I want to give a special shoutout to Jane Gazzo. After doing air checks with her, I’ve grown massively as a radio host. I’ve really learnt a lot from her, and she's an absolute legend. We're all incredibly lucky to have her here at SYN.

As much as I love hosting The Spotlight, the time has come for me to park the show for now to make room for other creative projects. While this chapter is coming to a close, this isn’t goodbye to SYN at all. I’m currently one of the Executive Producers of SYN’s Australian music show, The Hoist.
As part of the role, I’ll be managing things from behind the scenes rather than from behind the mic, but you might still hear me on the airwaves from time to time.

 If you do, feel free to text the SYN textline on 0468 155 796.

If you’d ever like to reach out, you can email hoist@syn.org.au or mgmt@takee.au.

Stream my music on all streaming platforms under TAKEE and feel free to follow me on Instagram @takee.au to get to know me a bit more, and/or check out my website: www.takee.au.

Thank you to every guest who trusted me with their story, and thank you to everyone who listened, tuned in late, or discovered the show by accident. And of course, thank you to SYN 90.7 FM for giving me the space to learn, experiment, and become better.

If you're a young person aged between 12-25, this could literally be you. Find out more on syn.org.au or SYN's offical instagram page: @synmedia.
