Hi Matthew Barber! Just stopping by your page to see whats good! Keep me in mind if you need any high quality/low cost mastering. All the details and samples are on my page. Feel free to get in touch with any questions. Take care!
Just wanted to say that I've been listening to Ghost Notes pretty heavily through most of 2009 and I have to say it just hasn't gotten old. I still sing along and am moved (to dance, to introspection, to ...) by the songs each and every time that I listen to them.
