Everything in existence is transitory. All good things must come to an end–it is a continual process of growth and evolution; death and rebirth; out with the old and in with the new. Reality itself is only a chapter of the story, and nobody knows when the page might turn and where it might lead. But all of it has just begun.

I’m basically just winging it here–pitchin’ funky tunes and pruning whatever happens to click. I suppose if a certain genre begins to settle, I may designate it as a side-project, but for now I’m scattering the seeds of open categorization across all ends of the vast aural spectrum. Amidst this organic development, you may find some of this here and a little bit of that there. 
Helpful criticism is encouraged and appreciated, and as long as you’re respectful there’s no need to be objective about it! Any advice/suggestions (e.g. instrument packs and other useful programs or tools) are also welcome. I’m neither rich nor highly-skilled, but I consider my level of experience and quality of production software to suit the fact that I regard this as a hobby…I’m not certainly trying be the next pop sensation. Music should be enjoyed, yeah? Leave whatever feedback you want, but at the end of the day I’m pretty content even if I’m the only one who enjoys the music. 

So, listener…To you, I say this: Enjoy the auditory ride. Or not. But either way, accept it or move on, because it’s your life. Safe travels :)

Sincerely,
Matt

P.S.
Please forgive the atrocious puns in many of the song names…a little wordplay for self-amusement was the only thing keeping me from naming every song “1, 2, 3,…n, n + 1” or something along the lines of “skjdhfjkadshf.” But the songs contain no lyrics at the moment, so what’s in a name, anyway? Also, I have a restricted number of virtual instruments at my disposal: The piano is my staple, I mostly use a basic rhythm, and the majority of the other instruments are grab-bag synths that seemed fitting…so just deal with it. It might also be worth mentioning that some of the old relics are thrown in with the fresh stuff, so that should account for some of the inconsistencies that you might notice from song to song. When it comes to my songs, if you don’t see the words “sample,” “demo,” or “sketch” in the title, consider it to be more of an interlude or experimental variation rather than a mastered track. It’s all a work in progress.

‘Broken Man’ Out Now

My work is still in an experimental phase. Subpar to my standards, but always working on something. I tend to deliberately or randomly induce hypnagogic viasual and auditory hallucinations, then memorize and try to recreate them with DAWs. I have these sound cravings I can't always find in other genres/artists/songs. So I figure, DIY. Currently I'm using FL studio, and LMMS. I look forward to eventually getting ableton. I don't exactly aim toward any specific genre. I just create what feels right in the moment, and the song isn't done until I get chills and pit it through tests of duration. Like, how long can I listen to these loops and sound designs in repetition before I get tired of it pr not and need to go back to keep tweaking it. What emotions and thoughts occur when exposed to each track. What imaginary surreal worlds could I be transported to from each spind hitting specific nerves, and sweet spots?
