Uncover Me offers acoustic music laced with flute as well as harder-edged rock tunes doused with saxophone. The underlying basis is Peter Matuchniak weaving his ethereal guitar sound into his compositions.
“I’ve been fortunate to have some fantastic local musicians support me on this one: Jimmy Keegan (drummer for Spock’s Beard), Natalie Azerad (singer with Pink Floyd tribute W1P and live with Alan Parsons), Rick Meadows (bassist from Gekko Projekt), Ted Zahn (singer with WZMG), along with some fine sax and flute from classical/jazz musicians David Gilman and Conor Jonson,” said Peter Matuchniak. “Shawn Gordon offers a great place for music that falls in and around the progressive genre at “TheRecordLabel”, and I’m proud to have my debut album be a part of his label.”
“Since I met and signed Peters band Evolve IV back in 2008, we’ve become good friends and I’m continually amazed by his talent and drive,” said said Shawn Gordon, president of ProgRock Records. “It’s a real pleasure to be able to work with him on this solo release.”
British guitarist Peter Matuchniak plays a progressive style of guitar influenced by Steve Hackett (Genesis), Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Andy Latimer (Camel) and Steve Howe (Yes).
His compositional style draws from the varied genres he was exposed to at home: jazz-rock, the latest radio hits, and parents who raised him on classical music. But the basic element is always progressive rock. Peter Matuchniak has played with a number of bands in this genre both in London where he grew up as well as in his adopted southern California home.
Recently he has released albums with Gekko Projekt and Evolve IV on the Prog Rock Records label. Back in the 1980’s Peter Matuchniak was part of the neo-progressive rock movement with Janysium and Mach One.
