G’day folks, let me introduce this little collection of ditties. I stumbled upon the idea for this project in January 2023, while going through my old collection of demos and recordings that I had saved over the years. They were in a box in the shed on various formats such as Adat tape, CD, and even cassettes, and I was converting them into digital files before they decomposed and turned to dust…(hence the title)
Most of these tunes were never heard by the public; some were heard by a few industry types, some only by a couple of mates, and some by nobody at all. Back in the day, you basically had to be hand-picked by a record company to make a recording that got played on the radio. It was tough to get your music heard by a wider audience…especially when you’re as hopeless at self-promotion as I happen to be? It was also quite an expensive exercise to make an album or even a recording of any kind, so a lot of these tracks are what we call demos (A rough idea of a song that you would pitch to a record company or booking agent in the vain hope you might get signed, and the rest would be history).
Well, history came and went! And I still had all these recordings with songs that nobody had heard or knew about, and I’d already spent all the time and money to record them back in the day. So I thought, bugger it…I’m gonna put them all together and make a ‘This is your life’ kinda thing… a soundscape if you will,of my musical career as it developed over time. Listening back to them, I think they represented where I was as an artist at that moment, and what I was trying to achieve. I’ve since re-recorded some of these songs at later dates and released them, often better sounding and maybe even better versions musically. But there’s something about an original recording of a song that is hard to define or recreate. I like the rawness that is captured on these early recordings.
I took them to Rob Grant for the job of mastering all the tracks. (‘Mastering’ in layman’s terms is…polishing them up to sound good). Not an easy task when each track is from a different era, on a different format, and recorded in a different sounding studio. Hats off to Rob for managing to bring it all together into a cohesive-sounding collection. There are 25 recordings here in as close to chronological order as I can remember, some with an acoustic version of a song and a later electric version. And in keeping with the retro theme, I also dug up some old photos from the time, or as close to it as possible. Most of the pics from the 1995-2000 period are either promotional shots or personal photos taken by Julie. I was never one for taking photos, and, begrudgingly, if it wasn’t for her, I would have nothing to show from that era, so I am eternally grateful. The other shots are from here and there.
This package is a snippet back in time. ‘I am the curator of my own history.’ I hope it gives some insight into the origins of my music, both past and present.
Everything returns to Dust.

The album ‘Circles’ was recorded at The Bomb Shelter Studio in Nashville, Tennessee in early April of 2018. Produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Ettes) and Co-produced by musical virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Jon Estes (Bela Fleck, Kesha, Steelism). The album is a songwriters collection of indie folk inspired sentiments of love, heartache and longing. Matt went back to the roots of his song writing and to the core of what it’s really all about. The instrumentation stretches itself from a minimalist view on tracks like ‘Sailing On’ and ‘New Love’, through to a fuller sound on numbers such as ‘Heaven Cares’ and ‘Sunday Morning’. Carefully engineered by Andrija and Jon the tones are pure and true, leaving room for Matt’s vocal timbre to breathe it’s life into every delicate moment.

This was an album I wanted to record with some ol' friends.
We used to knock around in Perth together when we first started our music careers. We each toured in various bands, sometimes lived together, developed as musicians together, recorded the odd song together and got drunk together.
Brad and DJ played in many successful acts together around Perth while I did the solo thing and travelled around Australia chasing the dream.
Life took different directions for each of us and after an absence of many years, I returned to Perth and thought it a good idea to make a full album of music together while we still had the chance, the drive, the time and the money?
Whilst we seem to be in an era when making an album is a dying art form, we're still a bit old school and continue to enjoy an album of music in a quality format, and not some squashed up slither of audio that the billionaire nerds sell ya.
"Life's too short for shit music"
We hope you feel the same way, cheers!

"Recorded in his spare bedroom studio, it's Matt's first foray into recording his own music and a big learning curve. He built the studio, bought the gear, learned how to use it, wrote the songs and recorded the music.
The tracks were then taken to be mixed and mastered by Rob Grant at Poonshead Studio in Fremantle, WA.
Rob put it through all his rare vintage sound gear and polished it up real nice!

The title and idea came about whilst living in Perth many years ago. I used to live alone in this big empty house and had plenty of time to play music into the early hours of the morning. I used to write a lot melancholic ol’ songs and never knew quite what to do with them. They didn’t seem the type of songs that you could play in the pubs or that would even be popular…. a little too mellow for the regular folks. In the corner of the front room of the house, I had a blue light set-up to give a bit of atmosphere. There was something about the blue light that seemed to accompany the feeling of the songs. To me, they weren’t depressing or necessarily sad, but more along the lines of life, love, loss, beauty and hope. Some of those songs went by the wayside and some remained. “The Blue light Show” represents the songs from that time and some from the intervening years, through to a couple that just appeared during the process of making the record. 'I’m Comin’ Home', for instance, came about one sleepless morning around 5am after a particularly hard time in the studio the day before. It seemed, to sum up, what we were trying to achieve with this record and became one of my favorite tracks. The record was recorded at Woodstock Studios in Melbourne, Australia. Produced by Troy Trigwell and myself, it was Troy who really gave this record the direction it needed. When I first met Troy and went into the studio, I just had a collection of songs of various styles. While the songs were good, there was no real artistic direction. From an outside perspective, Troy saw my strengths and weaknesses and it was decided that a few months break and a more focused approach was the best way to go. We shared a lot of the same musical tastes and ideas about what making music should really be about. It should be about the song or an expression of a way of thinking, the basics of why people love music in the first place, a connection you feel with something that just seems to grab you and move you in a personal way. We decided, lets not just make another CD, let's make a cohesive record, with a certain sound and feeling, a certain mood, something we could listen to years down the track and say, “Hey, you know….that ain’t too bad”.

Contains some of the first songs I ever wrote (Six String & Rollo's Blues).
It was a busy time recording this album. Flying back and forth from Airlie Beach to Brisbane, sometimes only for a night in the studio, then back again for gig commitments.
But when I look back, it wasn't a bad effort. Exhausting but enjoyable!
