Reviews:

A kind of journey set to music by Peter Griggs that is as clear and mysterious as the dance itself.
- Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times –

His music sometimes shimmers along almost like Debussy.
- Tom Johnson, The Village Voice –

A beautiful recording of world music.
- John Schaeffer in his book New Sounds –

An absolutely superb guitar performance by Mr. Griggs.
- Brad Biondo, AfterTouch –

Subtle nuevo flamenco guitar stylings...Griggs guitar adds just the right touch.
- Bill Binkelman, Wind Wire -

Stunning in its intensity, “Children of the Amazon” will take you on a journey into your own imagination.”
- Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications -

An almost unbelievable talent. Peter Griggs performs magic!

UNIVERSE

Comparing the solar system to an atom, the earth is an electron.

How do you feel being one among zillions of inhabitants of an electron?

Comparing one atom to the solar system, each electron is a planet.

How do you feel being a universe?
