Swirl formed in Sydney 1990 playing indie pop, epic soundscapes, shoegaze.

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.
