Being the gentleman you are, I wanted to check your work... so I searched for your record "Brazilian Wish" and I bought it through CDBaby.com.
I just wanted to say how much I've appreciated the general feel and I think the arrangements are a notch up from "excellent".
Keep up the good work, Matt; and for the rest of the Forum, check this man's record: you won't regret it, I'm telling you, folks!
Yous very truly,

I've been listening to Matt's fabulous Pandora station for over a year and making him independently wealthy at about 1/1000 cent per play. I listen every day. If all of his forum friends would tune his Pandora station I know that Matt would appreciate it.

My goodness, I just saw this thread. Thank you, Pepe, for your most kind words.
So Don, you're the one? My Pandora account has almost enough for me to buy one hard candy, and it's all on you! Sweet.
You never know where your music will show up. Tell you a quick story. My guitarist on the CD was on hold with Verizon and heard a guitarist soloing on the wait-on-hold music. He thought, "That cat sounds pretty good". Then he thought, "That cat copped some of my licks!". Then he thought, "That's me!". He called me right away. Turns out, Verizon was using Music Choice, the same service you hear on the cable TV jazz channels. Pretty cool.
Again, to you two and to all who viewed this thread, many thanks.

I had that experience one Christmas season in a store. But I was thinking, "That cat not only ripped me off, he ain't playin' it right." "Doggone, now he's WAY in front of the beat, miscreant." And then I heard something towards the end that proved it was indeed my cut... heh --Mac

The only "air play" I ever got was when I would go into my choirpractor or dentist's office and they have my music playing. Of course the set me up.

Wow,
I had no idea Matt was such a successful pro musician, unlike some of us amateurs, at least speaking for myself. It was amazing to read all of the different wind/brass instruments that he plays. I'm jealous, wish I could play just 1 instrument, one-fifth as well.
I've always wanted to play lots of different instruments, hence my love for Wind controllers and Samplemodeling synth samples. It's no real substitute for playing the trumpet etc. but I'm having a lot of fun.
Not only is Matt so very good at what he does but he is also a really nice fellow, always willing to help anyone.
That video promo of Brazilian Wish is terrific, like the music.
Thanks,
|

You guys are good as your word: I noticed an uptick in sales, and I thank you!
The video was an experiment using the web program, Animoto. I like the program a lot.
Dan, the wind controller can come pretty close in some situations to a real instrument. I played one show where they couldn't afford a string bass, so I played the critical bass parts on the WX5 using the Acoustic Bass patch. That same show kept me busy, since I was also covering the flute book as well as lead trumpet. My wife was the lead actress, so I did what I could to make it work.

I Dled this a couple of weeks ago and just got to hear it. Matt this is dynamite! Great music here and although I was late to the part I am sure glad I came.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
