About MATRIX MAN~
This track represents an exploration of an idea that for many years was back-burner/kind-of experimental material, but finally I had the desire to finish it.
Overall… Matrix Man has two main sections. The first section actually has a couple parts within it, one being the initial concept from which the rest of the tune was written around. 
This initial concept involves ascending and descending suspension chords, along with a syncopated “melody” weaving throughout, with the added element of rhythmic tension created by repeated cycles of three measures in 7/8, and a fourth measure in 5/8.  The chordal basis of this crafty part just described becomes quite evident as this track progresses in about a minute. 
But for the intro, I decided to solo only the melody without the background of suspension chords from which it was extrapolated from.  Eventually… the first section morphs into the remaining section which maintains a steady 7/8 time signature.  Here an infectious groove develops as the bass and drums drive the foundation punctuated by guitar and piano solos.
I originally called this tune “Suspended Matrix”, which makes sense due to it’s quirky suspended chord form from which the whole tune was derived from. But as I worked on it, a light went on in my head telling me to retitle it “MATRIX MAN” (after all… I was the man... the man suspended in this matrix for a month!).
I think the new title’s got more of a ring to it anyway!
I hope everyone enjoys the listening experience despite the technical nature of this composition!

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!
