Known Unknowns by Peter Lo Iacono

This is an instrumental guitar album. It continues the tradition of this genre where "lyrics" are found in melodies, rhythms, solos and harmonies. Peter's influences span from the late 60's arrival of hard rock, to the jazz-rick fusion era of the 70's and 80's, to present day metal artists. He also has an appreciation for the syncopation and groove that deliver so much of the excitement of funk music.

Peter approaches music with a strong regard for melodic composition, particularly where solos also tell the story and enhance the song's message. To achieve that goal he employs a harmonically rich, singing, over-driven lead tone that has voice-like characteristics.

With all the tools available to the modern guitarist today, including the addition of guitar synthesizers, the possibilities are limitless. Peter's musical direction remains the blending of as many influences as possible with the power of rock guitar, to create new and compelling sounds.
