PLEASE
NOTE: Matt is no longer a columnist on The Muse's Muse. His
life has gotten extremely busy. We all recognize that such things
happen and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. I'm
very grateful for the time he took to participate. In
Sound will deal with sound as a whole. I’ve chosen the title In
Sound, because that will allow me to write freely about sound, as
that includes all music, and anything of or pertaining to sound.
It’s this flexibility that is necessary when one decides to write
a regularly scheduled topic-based piece, such as a column; you want
to be specific, but you want to be general, as well. In
Sound will focus on tying sonic, and musical experiences, and in
some cases extra-musical experiences, into creativity and inspiration
as a whole, with special emphasis on composition and songwriting.
As a sound artist, I’m constantly inspired by those sounds around
me, it’s my goal to bring some of those stories and ideas to the
page here, expound on them, and possibly create new compositional
and music writing perspectives for other artists to consider when
they set about to create.
