“Recording with Pete is hot as balls!” — Kemp Harris, recording artist, vocalist, pianist, songwriter, actor |

“Peter has created some of the most brilliant and peaceful meditative music that I have ever heard. The music to each track has such a unique quality to it—the creativity and perfection that is infused into Peter’s work puts him into a class of his own.” — Kelly M. Ballard, Reflective Harmony | |

“[S]low blooms of galactic sound that stretch from ear to ear like a blissful smile [...]; sonar blurps that bring to mind how Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry imagined submarines, rather than airplanes, as the Starship Enterprise’s most significant predecessor; and occasional flurries of digitally messed-up speech, suggesting the space-enabled psychosis of Stanislaw Lem’s novel Solaris. [...] The music’s source materials include electric bass guitar, field recordings, children’s toys, glass vases, harmonica, among other household objects.” — Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet.com review of Past Andromeda

“[Peter Koniuto's] Past Andromeda has its antecedents in 1970s ambient music, from that heady time when the notion of sound as sound had been rediscovered with a tent revival enthusiasm. Yet the work never feels trite or tamed. Instead, this is a subtle, integrated listen—nothing less than the kind of mature, capable work that reminds us why we listen to ambient music.” — Robert Nunnally, co-founder, Negative Sound Institute | |

“The Negative Sound Institute netlabel is always good for quality ambient sounds and their new addition to the NSI stable does nothing to dissuade this notion. Pseudophone’s music yearns to be background noise, a quiet droneful dream of sound suitable for meditation or simply calming the urban chaos as you go on with your day. Much of Reach sounds like a soundtrack for a movie, a very atmospheric movie at that. If you are looking for music that is calming, other worldly and with a generous dose of mystery, Pseudophone is waiting for you.” — FreeAlbumsGalore.com | |

“The music invites the visitor to close the door, relax, and let the rest of the world go. My tip: a must download!!!” — Christian Gütschow, www.guetschow.de , on Pseudophone’s Reach | |

“A superb job this Reach of Pseudophone, enjoyable, rich atmospheres made of sound cyclical flows slowly that overlap and chase.” — Mauro Graziani, Italian musician and writer | |

“Peter and his ’soundroom’ have been around since the mid-eighties whether he knows it or not. From the very earliest years of my work with him in ‘The Dirty River Blues Band’ ca. 1988-90 to various performance, compositional, and most recently, production projects, Peter has always insisted on owning the ‘room’ when it comes to sound. Though his strong, primitive sensibilities and talents in percussion were always readily available in the libidinous early years, it was pure consciousness-of-process in later years which brought the deeper spheres of the soundroom…I am honored to have participated in both. Nuanced, sophisticated, and ultimately spiritual, the Red Sun Soundroom will be forever tied to my awareness as a music artist. Its history parallels my own and its inspiration speaks to vision and depth beyond us all. Thank You Peter! Booglie Flim Flam.” – Adam Oh, artist, poet, blues musician, Roll Over Baby |
