Peter Miller

Hailing from Australia, acoustic guitarist Peter Miller developed a unique guitar style which has been inspired from players like the late Michael Hedges, Phil Keaggy and Michael Fix among many other musicians. His compositions are most reminiscent to the late Michael Hedges, with intimate painted poetic escapades which come straight from the heart. The atmosphere on the CD is at times melancholic, soothing and reflective. The record is a superb way and the guitar techniques he uses are noteworthy. Most pennings have a lot of space and it feels very serene and heart-warming.

Many tracks sound like improvisations with a lot of space and reflect a spiritual feeling. Personal favourites are 'Breakfast With Mr Hedges' and the title track from this album "From A Distant Shore" with the typical Michael Hedges sound. "Hand Dancing" the opening cut on the CD has a transcendent setup with a beautiful melody line and fine structure. Peter Miller succeeded in delivering a captivating CD which will attract any
guitar enthusiast.
