The Spids' Web

Music by AJ Matthews, AKA Spid 4

AJ Matthews records music and songs, plays about with sound software and puts the results on this site for your perusal. He's been known to play gigs on the Truro and Falmouth scenes. So far, he's made music with his voice and a flamenco guitar ~ recently messing with loopers and samplers he's broadened his palette. We should view these as kinds of collage with sound, because he finds that painters and pictures are a pretty useful source of working practice. A song could be a portrait or a landscape, but it's not going to be like a novel.

Use the pictures at the top and bottom to navigate around the site.

There are two pages of music on this site: On the Songs Page you'll find finished and polished numbers that seem like the kind of thing that might one-fine-day make up an album. On the Experiments Page you can experience material that might be less complete, more radical, or just not that great, like a sketch book.

2 New Improvs5/15/2010
Hi All, I've uploaded two new pieces, both of which are guitar instrumental improvisations for your listening pleasure and so forth. They are just about as disparate as you could hope for although they are both about 6 minutes-ish. The first features my new 12-string and the second is a heavily processed Fennesz-style granular synthesis work out. You can't say things are boring on this site!
