Back of an Envelope

Wayfinding

The Water

This track was put together while thinking about all the troubles in the world and was produced to give a little peace and love to the listener. To also cement that not far away there are a lot of people who care and are trying all they can to help.

War and Hunger

dreams are ways to see dead people again

Wrote this one after some dreams regarding world news, old regrets, and some nagging medical issues. Pressing on regardless!  After writing the music and lyrics, I had A.I. develop the instrumental and vocal.  Vocal worked out nice but the instrumental part was  not what i expected.

Broken Stone is a pop-rock-folk artist from England, blending heartfelt songwriting with rich, organic arrangements. With years of experience as both a songwriter and musician, Broken Stone brings a deep understanding of composition to every track, crafting songs that are both emotionally resonant and musically layered.
The name Broken Stone was inspired by a line in a Paul Weller song, a nod to the artist's roots in British songwriting tradition. What began as a passion for writing lyrics evolved into a full-fledged musical journey, shaped by years of honing the craft behind the scenes.
Fusing melodic sensibility with thoughtful storytelling, Broken Stone stands out in the indie scene as an artist who not only performs, but builds each song from the ground up — balancing sensitivity and structure with a seasoned hand.

Have you ever had a moment where you’ve realized that you were late to the party, that you’ve spent too much energy on trying to please the wrong people or you’ve been deceived by those closest to you? If the answer is yes then the rock-inflected folk music of Lancaster, PA-based artist Matt Tarka will speak directly to you. Weaving isolated moments of heartbreak and rejection into his songs he continues the traditions of artists such as Tom Petty, Wilco and Carole King.

Singer songwriter/photographer. Not quite folk, not quite blues, not quite pop, Just me.

Former player, avid listener, and, specifically, an enjoyer of life in general.

My prototype, see, wasn't very driven
Always in the water, wasn't much of a swimmer
Wrong physical/chemical composition
Died of a busted drinking mechanism

Heart was too heavy for music to live in
Talked to the darkness and invited it in
Now I've been reborn and she's been forgiven
And I am a witness in the church of the rythm

New version dropped a dependency
Resource increase, naturally
Focused on global scalability
And destroying anybody tryin' to muzzle me

So pardon my dust through this upgrade transition
New algorithm and new disposition
I never thought it would come to fruition
Ding Ding. Level up, that's what this is
