Bio
Peter Baumann
Peter Baumann was born in 1953 in Berlin, Germany. After joining the musical group Tangerine Dream in 1971, he toured with the band worldwide and recorded multiple Gold records until 1981. Mr. Baumann moved to New York in 1982 and founded the record company, Private Music. He served as CEO of Private Music until 1994 when the company was sold to RCA.
For many years, Mr. Baumann has focused on the exploration of well-being and quality of life from a philosophical, conceptual and experiential perspective. He is a Fellow at the Mind & Life Institute and serves on the board of California Institute for Integral Studies.
He founded The Baumann Foundation, the San Francisco-based think-tank that explores the experience of being human in the context of cognitive science, evolutionary theory and philosophy to foster greater clarity about the human condition. The foundation is focused on the exploration of subjects such as perception, cognitive biases, mental representation, mindfulness, attention, dynamics of self-identification and how these relate to and inform conscious experience.
Baumann is author (with Michael Taft) of Ego: The Fall of the Twin Towers and the Rise of an Enlightened Humanity (2011).
