Details:
One part new age and one part rock and roll, Peckyno’s delayed piano style owes as much to Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson as it does to George Winston or Jim Brickman. “I look at musical compositions like a novel presented in a different media – ‘Soundstories’ if you will…. If you let it, this CD will tell you a story of relentless hope, romantic dreams, and real triumph.”
Each of the songs on Stripped was recorded in one continuous take with no overdubs, no MIDI, and no quantization. “To play in rock bands, I had to learn to think differently about music, to break it into pieces to be assembled in a studio. Notes and rhythms to be layered live… With Stripped, I wanted to do the opposite and take all of those pieces and rhythms and distil a single composition that I could play on a piano. Stripped of my studio ‘safety net,’ I had to really emotionally go for it each take…and then try not to completely screw it up halfway through! I think it comes across in the music. The tension is palpable and the magic is so very real. I wanted this record to really feel like I’m sitting in front of you playing a concert for one.”
While Stripped revisits some of Peckyno’s earlier ambient work, not all of CD was pre-planned. “When ‘tape was rolling,’ I''d often improvise around and work my way into each piece. Some of these “intro’s” really surprised me and captured the essence of the piece so well that I left them in the final mix. This CD is so much more satisfying and emotional and soulful than anything I''ve ever done before. Stripped not only soothes you, but perhaps also may challenge you, inspire you, and hopefully even surprise you from time to time. Close your eyes, grab a glass of wine, put on some headphones and let your imagination fill in the pictures. I''m very proud of the work and can''t wait to share it!”
