"Music is one of the greatest gifts given to Mankind - and here is my contribution..."
My name is Mat and I am enthusiastic hobby musician with aspirations to compose for the media, including computer games and advertisements. I have been playing the piano and keyboard for 20 years, incluing 6 years experience playing the drums. I have been in numerous bands, and now I am totally focussed on music composition and learning about production as I go.
I like to hear from listeners so please, contact me or leave me feedback!
Be sure to check out the friends list - they have all had some influence on me in some way or another so be sure to swing past their sites!
All the best :)

Hi Freqmaster, I'm really glad to have you as a MySpace frienf. If you have the time, remember to check out the "HFMC raw and fresh, taken from rehearsal" video and blogs. Anyway, I hope you're fine, have a wonderful summer and take care. Hasse (HFMC, The Flower Kings)
Hello Matty. It's no good putting effects on the photo. I can still see that it was the one taken by my Mum. She will be wanting a fee for use of it. ;) Like the new layout. I want more new Freqmaster tunes!!!!!
Hello there Matty. I've just stumbled accross a Hungarian " Progressive Symphonic Jazzrock" group called "Fugato Orchestra" on Myspace. http://profile. myspace. com/index. cfm?fuseaction=user. viewprofile&friendid=161035355 Thought maybe you'd find them interesting...? Don't you just love Myspace for finding uncommercial bands!? Know I do. I mainly buy music from unsinged (???? oops "unsigned") or indie label groups I find on sites like this these days than from Major labels in record shops.
"The flower Kings" - of course. How could I not realise that, knowing how much you love them?
You never did get round to letting me hear your favourite music.... I would still be interested to hear what has influenced your writing so much as I do love your music. From the moment Dad first played your CD to me years ago when I hardly knew you, I said that is the person who I'd most want to write with oneday as you mix so many of the styles which I like. I don't think I'll ever find anyone else who writes quite in the way you do, especialy not localy. I hope I do cause I'd want to write with them but I doubt it -I think your style is unique.
I really like the new jazzy bit in your new uploaded tune. I wonder where that piano playing style came from .....? .... ;) My Dad's influence maybe?... Your improvising and jazz style has got lots better lately and it was good before. I can't wait to hear it in more new Freqmaster tunes. (OK you can make the cheque payable to Miss C....for all those compliments).
"Some TFK, Prog Rock influence shining through" - Excuse my ignorance but what or who is "TFK" Matty? Love the track and the new version here of it. Please keep me posted on your new tunes, as we wont be in touch so often and please keep giving me copies of your music - will pay if you wish. They are certainly worth paying for!
Wish my production was as good as yours. There is so much that I want to learn! I don't know where to start.
I will miss writing music with you so much. You make my songs much better. Hopefully one day in the distant future I will have the chance to again .... maybe we can through email eventually if you can't face to face...
I'll leave you in peace till your next piano lesson, Cherie
I don't think i have the PSD file or anythign to get the backgorund off that picture but i'll try my best...
If i can't should i try to remake if..or could i cut a section out of it and you coudl just tile that over your website? It's up to you my friend i just want to help to be honest!
Also i have anotehr banner orp icture for you, i've just done a cople of little edits can't think of hat else, so i need to send it to you and hear your feedback, ill send an e-mail soon with it attached.
Hello Matty. Thanks for the CD of your music. I've waited over 2 years to have your tracks. It's been well worth waiting for! They are now playing on my Ipod. One of the tunes I've not heard before I think is beautiful. Quite simple but effective. It's quite slow - orchestral in places with lots of piano. Miroslav sounds maybe?
Hope to write some more tunes with you soon, Cherie
i don't wanna be boring anymore but listen to the Under The Radar-Two Little Satellites...Official Myspace Page in my top...beautiful song... but then again i did not need to do this XD see ya :)
