During that tenure he was fortunate to have also worked with Pril Smiley, John Cage, Valdimir Ussachevsky, Milton Babbit, Gordon Mumma, Lou Harrison, LeMonte Young, Charles Dodge and Aaron Copeland. In 2002, Grenader's Electrolux won the Periòdic Experimental Music Festival in Barcelona, Spain.

A member of the SEAMUS board of directors, he is the founder of Plan B and is it's primary designer. Custom instrument design includes work for Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chill Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Gary Chang and composer/soundartist Stephen Roach.

In 2001 , Peter returned to analog after a 22 year hiatus because he tired of trying to force digital instruments to behave in like manner. He began devloping his own circuits soon after because the instruments available didn't do what he needed them to.
