These are songs that I have created using a couple of keyboards, a korg sampler and a very old clamshell mac all that I purchased about 15 years ago and have been stored away for a number of years.  The pandemic finally gave me time to dig them out and I'm trying new stuff again.  The picture included here is my current setup.  All of these are completely original and other than a few samples of Fred Anderson on saxophone on Fred and the tablas from one of bill laswell's bandcamp sample releases on pacifica.  The name Opaque is what I have been using as my music name for now.  My given name is Matt.  Send any thoughts you may have.

Just initial thoughts on each piece:
D.C. was a short song I created around the time of the insurrection.  It just made sense to call it that.
dubbed is my newest song greatly influenced by the beauty of bill laswell's music
fred has some samples from Fred Anderson, a legendary sax player from Chicago and evokes the energy he might bring if he were still alive today, he passed away sadly in 2010.
hillage is a sorta tribute to steve hillage the great progressive guitarist
hotmail is the first new song I created and I thought it sounded like a song that would have been made in the 90s so i thought hotmail would be a good title
pacifica is a mediation-type tune with tablas that evokes the thoughts of being by the beach or driving down the coast
techno is basically just an electronic tune that I thought sounded like old school techno
finally, the march is an industrial tune that is long but worth the listen 
if you make it through all of these then you are my hero!
again, let me know any feedback you may have!

I reworked this one last night.  I think this mix is a bit better than the 1st.
