Margaret Bradley’s music is underpinned by her passion for Indonesian arts and culture, particularly the Sundanese music of West Java.   She shares that special feeling of the place between.

An irreverent dance hall racketeer and  child of the galaxy. When it comes to music, I wear many sombreros.  I have been singing, writing music and working as a musician all of my life. I recently  discovered Logic Pro X, I reluctantly started looping and am finding that unlike relying on band members,  I just Midi it in or click and drag. 

I live in a beautiful part of the world and was waiting and waiting for a condenser microphone to arrive by the post, as we are far from any big city. I accidentally discovered that the inbuilt microphone in my mac-pro laptop is almost as good as any other microphone, 

I do look a tad possessed singing into the side of the computer. It took a bit of handling as any little noise or bump would get recorded too with the vocals. 

Hopefully you enjoy what I create. I work backwards and mostly improvise the tunes. I lay the backing vocals first and then work around that. maybe all those years as a session singer mostly doing BV's taught me to do this?

I have also shared three tracks from my album  'All The Time In The World" a beautifully studio recorded album with an exceptional violin player Peter Urquhart and myself on guitars and vocals. All the music is copyright and composed by me Marguerite Montes. 

There are a couple of tracks recorded at Trafalgar studio in Sydney  from 
 'Tirami Su' a beautiful Latin Jazz Fusion band I worked with in Sydney a few moons ago. Those songs were co composed by myself and Rick Just. 

I love the stuff of life. I am in love with music and music is in love with me. I experiment with many genres. there's much more to discover...Check out www.margueritemontes.com     Come say hola, drop me a message. Spread the love.
