Therianthrope guests: Peter Matuchniak.

I seldom work with other guitarists than myself in studio. The fact that I decided to change it this time does imply a cordial compliment to the guitar player that I am honored to introduce today as a part of Therianthrope. Peter Matuchniak, known by his work with Gekko Project and many others, is to collaborate with Transport Aerian this time, to provide some of his signature melodic tones as well as some proggy guitarscape extravaganzas. Combining a crafty jazz-influenced technique and a deep knowledge of guitar effects, Peter will be a great textural addition to the melodic side of the Abstract Symphony and Therianthrope.

Therianthrope guests: Marco Ragni

Italy appears to thrive with highly unusual, open and unique minds, and so does it attract such, remembering stunning success of Peter Hammill there. One of the dearest guests on Therianthrope is Italian multi-instrumentalist Marco Ragni, MRR brother-in-arms with roots in psychedelic scene, for whose most recent creation Land Of The Blue Echoes (also starring, among many others, legendary Durga McBroom of Pink Floyd and the underground champion Colin Tench of Corvus Stone) I have had an honor to play some bass. Marco Ragni’s vision will play a significant part in the Abstract Symphony and he is also to provide some synths and guitars on the other songs of the album.

Therianthrope guests: Darren Brush

I’ve always had a feeling that extended harmonic instruments would be in the right place in my music. So while the bass guitar player is still to be announced, now it is time to introduce the other side of rhythm section of the Therianthrope project. A stick player, a progressor and a free thinker, Darren Brush is joining efforts to provide some melodic experiments and investigate the rhythmical spaces of both album part and the Abstract Symphony.

INTRODUCING THE DRUMMER!

A band is only as good as a drummer is. That’s why for Therianthrope the care is taken for the best and most matching drummer to be in charge. Thus, I have a privilege to introduce you Bart Van Roy, a great musician, a good friend who already did some work for Transport Aerian many years ago, and now back to business. His drumming technique combines the power of a rock drummer and finesse of progressive approach. He is the first to be introduced, among the many of amazing musicians who will be taking part in Therianthrope album.
