This album is an unofficial interpretation of the James Bond music from the 1960s and 1970s and is merely an amateur experiment that is not to be monetized or profited from in any way. I imagined a film to be made during this period and composed and recorded music in the style. Each track sequentially leads the listener through an unofficial Bond adventure.The music seeks to pay homage to John Barry and the style of music he brought to cinema during this period and his subsequent legacy.

Although I wrote a lot of the music here, I must credit Monty Norman for the James Bond Theme that is used throughout the album; John Barry for some of the chord changes in the slower themes, 'Stirred Not Shaken', 'Moonlight Romance' and 'Castaway'; and Paul and Linda McCartney for some of the chord changes in the latter part of 'Chase'. The listener familiar with the music of James Bond will find that some of the tracks are modeled on pieces of music used during the 1960s and 1970s, and I acknowledge John Barry for his influence.

Thanks to John Gibson for the cover art.

Hi there and welcome to the release of 'Born Free - A Tribute to John Barry, by Matt Baker' Columbia Pictures 1966

I was recently asked by John Styles as a request from one of the client of Music For Brains, to work on some music inspired by John Barry.

I have always been a huge fan of his amazing movie soundtracks an knew straight away that it would be fun to see what I could do with 'Born Free'

I decided to deviate a little from the original score with the addition of some extra melodies, percussion and vocal performances.

Recorded in Yew Tree Studios Liverpool (non for profit)

I hope you enjoy my creation and that it brings you some time to relax and reflect.

Adventures in Music. Let the music do the talking, and take you to another place.

Music has always been an integral part of my life. From my earliest memories, it has shaped how I express my emotions and bring my creative ideas to life. Whether it was hours spent with a slightly out-of-tune upright piano or strumming on my sister's guitar, I was hooked. While I struggled with traditional music theory and never quite mastered reading or writing music, my passion for sound and composition only grew.

My journey truly began with a Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard that allowed me to record simple melodies. Throughout my teenage years, I poured countless hours and resources into building my first collection of music gear, recording everything from theme songs to pop and punk covers with friends. In my early twenties, I played in several bands and immersed myself in the live music scene, which was a great experience but often came with late nights and long hours.

During this time, I also began exploring electronic music more seriously, acquiring my first proper setup: a Kawai keyboard, Technics sequencer, Alesis HR16 drum machine, and a Yamaha MT100 4-track recorder. These tools opened up new possibilities and inspired me to experiment with electronic music production and midi-based compositions.

A lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and cinematic soundtracks, I soon found myself gravitating toward composing thematic music. Movies, being my second greatest passion, heavily influenced the direction of my creative work.

In my 30s, life’s demands shifted my focus toward career and family, but my love for music never waned. Entering my 40s, I had the opportunity to refocus, acquiring new gear and fully committing to my musical development. With the help of modern technology, I now have a home studio where I can bring my musical ideas to life with greater precision and depth.

My current setup includes a Korg Triton LE, Cubase 12, Nektar LE88, Steinberg UR824 interface, and an array of VSTs such as Kontakt, Halion Sonic SE, Retrologue, and EastWest Symphonic Choirs, among others. This home studio, built over nearly a decade, allows me to push creative boundaries and explore new sounds and compositions.

Based in Liverpool, I’m currently writing is almost every style. Rock songs for my band Inner Fire. Pop tracks inspired by the 80's and 90's. Theme music inspired by film and literature with the aspiration of one day scoring a full-length production. 

Since joining SoundCloud, I've had the privilege of connecting with talented musicians and creative minds from around the world. One of the most fulfilling collaborations has been with John Styles, where we’ve explored a wide range of musical genres. 

I’m also proud to serve as the principal composer for Music for Brains, a project dedicated to healing through music and creativity. Working on this project has been deeply rewarding, as it has allowed me to connect with individuals on an emotional level, crafting compositions inspired by their stories.

I’m always open to feedback and collaboration, as it helps me refine my craft. While working in the music industry is a dream, I am also a grateful family man, and the support of my loved ones plays a crucial role in fuelling my passion. I am thankful to have such a strong network of family and friends who encourage me to keep pursuing my musical ambitions.

If you're in need of music for a production or project, feel free to reach out. I would be excited to contribute my creativity and help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my music—I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Matt
