Description: i was commissioned to write a piece for Tympani and ensemble many years ago for a Masters recital at Boston University. I wrote this piece using only 4 notes. rhythm is the driving force in a canon style with a wash effect above on a synth. Was played on a number of stages for performance.

Really great perc composition and ensemble. Nice drive, especially the coda :-)

I Wouldn’t Say I Am Lying was written for commercial use. It showcases a universal experience of rapid change, leaving the only town and people you know and having the sense of isolation. The hero(ine) of the song reflects on their relationships and their old lifestyle and comes to terms with their new life.

I Wouldn't Say I Am Lying

Scroll down for lyrics:
I wrote this for the wounded warriors project in upstate New York as a tribute to the broken veterans who lost mental and physical capacity during their service. I rededicated this to Immaculate Conception Church - who commissioned me to write a jingle for them for their video productions (also found on this site). If you wish to support me, you may send support to Matteo Filippi, P.O. Box 111, Malden Mass, 02148
Lyrics:
Where we walk, angels trod
Wings of love. Radiant light.
In the wind, their voices call
hear the singing fill the night

DRY YOUR EYES, WIPE YOUR TEARS
DO NOT CRY, NO NEED TO FEAR
WE CAN OVERCOME,
WE WILL CARRY ON
WE ARE NOT ALONE

See them dance, in nights domain
A thousand eyes on a blackened sea
The seasons pass, yet still remain
Their faithful dance calls down to me.

(chorus)
WE ARE NOT ALONE, WE ARE NOT ALONE
YOU ARE NOT ALONE, I AM NOT ALONE
WE CAN OVERCOME, WE WILL CARRY ON
WE ARE NOT ALONE
WE WILL CARRY ON, WE WILL CARRY ON, CARRY ON

      Origianally this song was written as a Commission for Rabbi Alpern, Chaplain and for The Wounded Warrior Project members in upstate NY, To encourage spiritual meditation and reflection on the hope our soldiers need as we honor them. A story we all often need to tell ourselves

CARRY ON by MATTEO

A poem written for a veterans program in New York. Often Veterans struggle when coming out from service to integrate, and even find a sense of dignity for the work they did for our country. The entire album, "Carry On" will be posted soon. This poem began the project as track one when released in 2013. Its a "Thank You" to all veterans. 

Warrior Poem, A Tribute to Veterans of the USA

off an old album project and one of the few recordings of me playing trumpet. My dream was to be able to play my heart out on my Trumpet over the Grand Canyon before I die. I had never been - still havent. So I created this back in the 90s with a massive reverb to create a huge echo as a dual between me and my guitar player back then.

Off my album "Pause and Reflect" in 1998, I use this often for underscoring video when an upbeat, bright and energetic sound is needed. I recently used it in CRS Bostons Virtual Conference I produced on You Tube for the intro to each session.

4. Ratner String Quartet #2 - IV. Epilogue

i wrote this inspired by my daughters birth.  I use to speak to her through the womb and sing to her.   the day she was born she cried until she heard my voice... clear to me she recognized it.   in the midst of all the strange voices and sounds in the room. But she was able to pick the voice out she was familiar with.  Made me think about God... to some he screams and we dont hear -its a whisper we cant hear.    My prayer is that im so familiar with His voice, he just "whispers" and im right there because his whisper is like a scream.

Whispers In My Ear
