DESTINY

US based composer and instrumentalist Peter MATUCHNIAK was first active back in the '80s in England with neo-progressive bands Janysium and Mach One. Later on he moved to the US, and following a pause away from music he returned as a member of the bands Evolve IV and Gekko Project a few years back, and also launched a solo career with the release of "Uncover Me" in 2012. "Destiny" is his second solo album, released through Melodic Revolution Records in 2014.

"Destiny" comes across as a fairly sophisticated specimen of a soft rock production, a mainstream rock oriented album with strong ties to progressive rock and with a small handful of compositions inside the universe of the latter but where the majority of the material and the main scope is one I feel has been made with a broader reach in mind. A production that comes across as somewhat uneven on some levels, but that may well charm those who have an equal interest in jazz, soft rock and progressive rock.
