« Spiraless » are a musical project built around the talented guitar duo of Atanas Shishkov and Todor Peev. Joining them on this, their debut as Spiraless, is Kevin Gobin who contributes bass guitar, keyboards and drums. The music of Spiraless has it’s roots planted firmly in the genre described as jazz/rock fusion. For many the words jazz and fusion conjure up musical visions of technical chord progressions draped over tempos that require the listener to have a degree in math to fathom out. There are no such moments however in the music of Spiraless, instead the music is all about melody and spontaneity wrapped up in a manner that makes their music accessible and ultimately joyful. »
Todor Peev was born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 1971. He is more commonly known as Blue2you. He discovered the guitar a really late stage, at the age of 25. After hearing Joe Satriani and Steve Vai he learned a modal approach to playing guitar music and took acoustic and electric guitar lessons. At the age of 27 he graduated as a physician. He continued to play developing his no picks style, using only his fingers and adding some slap,pop and tapping technique. Later he heard fusion players like Frank Gambale, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, Brett Garsed, TJ Helmerich and Greg Howe. This completely changed his playing and he started touring with a fusion band. He has recently started a new collaboration with the band « Spiraless ».
