Dreaming Of Summer.©m.montes 2022

Hello! I’m going through my bucket list of things I’ve wanted to do and writing a song was one of them! Here it is, I hope you enjoy it!

“Most of us know that this music is profound; even apocalyptic at times. However, it is so often approached on such a casual social and commercial level, we tend to ignore and overlook the stirrings within our souls and the voices of our ancestral ‘spirits’ that remind us of the fact, that there is a revelation of certain prophetic dimensions inherent in this music.”–Doug Carn

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.

Playing the piano, i am nowadays composing pieces for stringquartet, woodwinds, orchestra, but mostly jazz, loungemusic, etc.
Usually my compositions are realized with CUBASE and several virtual instruments.

Multi genre composer primarily focusing on Ambient and Cinematic soundscape. I am based near Stockholm and my first releases came out 2020.

My 3rd album Feel the Earth is out now!
