More Than Ordinary

Roots is a track Written, Produced and recoded at TheHitLab in SouthAfrica - Johannesburg, along side Howard Combrink (WaterShed, Howie Combrink)  And Dale Schnettler (Prime Circle).

Roots was a Song Written for my mother who unfortunately passed in June of 2011. And the album was a showcase of a thousand feeling and a collaboration of the most talented boys i know.

In early 2015 a pair of musically gifted guys played together for the first time and struck it lucky. Their voices blended and their intricate guitar skills complimented one another… they were the perfect musical match… hence the name!

 

Match brings a unique flavour to the sound of the local and international acoustic music scene.

 

The lack of a full drum-kit, which started out as a limitation, quickly presented itself as an asset as Match breaks ground in terms of looping, acoustic duo-arrangement and vocal percussion. Very quickly, Match learned that this stylistic addition to their sound played a large part in the studio production and live performance of their songs and, according to crowd response, became an aspect of performance that audiences both found unique and memorable. 

 

Lyrically, Match is authentic, believable and honest in their thoughts and themes on dreams and aspirations, heartache, family, loyalty and of course, love.

 

The production of Match’s first studio album brought along with it some necessary additions to the recorded, and ultimately live, sound of their music. The decision to add in musical aspects such as a piano, a bass guitar and the occasional string section turned out to broaden the sound of their music ten-fold – making it more accessible to the market and overall a much more stimulating listening experience.

 

Match realized that in order to stay true to the product on the album in terms of live performance they needed to find more members. Per chance, when recording session work at another studio, they made the acquaintance of Wilson Okafor – a music producer and pianist who happened to study Musical Score Composition at the Berklee College of Music in the United States. They had an opportunity to play a few songs for him and he fell in love immediately!

 

Match welcomed Mr.Okafor to the family and the three of them have been inseparable ever since!

 

Stylistically focusing on the perfection and innovation of instrumental musicianship and prominently including the sound of dual vocal harmonies, Match aims to bring back something that music seems to have lost over the years – true and raw talent.

 

Match aims to appeal to the broader market and will continue to create and compose music that digs down to the core of what it means to be human and, with a little help from their fans, get some hips moving too!

 

Adam van Veen, Sean Radford and Wilson Okafor welcome the world to the Match experience!S
