“Lost Time” now available everywhere

Lost Time was recorded with bassist John Hébert and drummer Keith Hall in Chicago, and they bring my music to life so beautifully. It’s a collection of compositions written during the heart of the pandemic lockdown – during a time when both Matthew’s mother and step-father passed away. He calls the album Lost Time, and the title track was specifically written in memory of his mother.

“Because of Covid restrictions and her dementia I missed out on the last 4-5 months of her life. Now looking back I realize the connection that flows through all the music on this album – I understand how powerfully events like this can affect our lives and how they resonate in our actions, and through our art.”

So really this recording is a tribute to them and moreover is a musical exploration of ways that time was lost for each of us as we dealt with all the unknowns around this pandemic – loved ones we lost, special events we missed out on, and just the general loss of awareness of knowing what day it was! Just like life, there are serious emotions and there are lighthearted moments.

“It’s my personal journey obviously, but I feel like it resonates in a much larger way and I hope you’ll find something in the music that speaks to your own situation – and maybe comforts or excites you.”
