   About Matt Wood


Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. Started bass at 16 - wanting to know everything Geddy Lee of Rush played, but eventually broadening my horizons a bit. I started playing guitar at 22 or so during graduate school when I wasn't playing with a band (solo bass only goes so far). I'm an astronomer by day - professor at Florida Tech in Melbourne - but still like to do some playing and recording of music in my off hours. I'm looking for an interesting project to get involved in (Fusion and/or Progressive Rock). During the day you can find me at Florida Institute of Technology teaching Astronomy and Physics. That website is here: Matt's FIT Webpage. Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic

Wow, from this page, you'd think you're kind of a punk, not an astrophysicist! That's the look I try to convey too! Haha, nice music though!

Ha, just to let you know, the Netherlands are at least a 10-12 hour drive from where I live!

I'm making my first album in April, so that's exciting! Hoping to get some better gigs with it. Take care, I'll look you up when I'm in town next.

Hey Matt, long time no hear. I'm trying to get things going here in Munich. Got some gigs and always looking for more. A few guitar students as well. Too bad an acoustic La Villa Strangiato never came to be! Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for the add, Matt! Man, that Spector photo is wonderful. Is that one yours? I own the very first translucent black Spector...it's more than a decade old. Also one of the very few with a fiber optic top dot system (no longer available, sad to say.) Yeah, the one in the photo above...the stage lights gave it a green overlay... Anyhoo....

The Deeper Blues CD should be out before the end of the summer. You can hear some "teaser stuff" on my Space. And if you haven't do so already, I'd really appreciate it if you'd also add Deeper Blues and Bass Talk with Abe & Lane™ to your list of friends. Thanks! And ... Keep thumpin'! ~~ Lane on Bass...
