Joe Satriani is streaming On Peregrine Wings, taken from forthcoming album Shockwave Supernova, set to be released on July 24th. Listen to it below.
“While working on a project for an animated TV show called Crystal Planet, I thought this music would be perfect for a flying character and what would it feel like to jump off a cliff and start flying,” says Joe. “There would be fear and exhilaration to be thousands of feet in the air. The movie in my head informed me on how the song developed using unusual scales and the intense velocity of the drumbeat and the crazy solo.”

It’s a simple piece, maybe even a little dull but it’s not bad. What I like most about Joe is that he’s not only one of the greatest guitarist ever but he’s a great composer as well. He’s written much more complicated stuff than this but he can write music that non-guitarists and non-musicians can also get into. Eric Johnson has that talent also.
I really liked it. It reminded me a bit of something off of Flying in a Blue Dream or The Extremist.
