Hah, hah. Here I am. Finally got some CD's to sell online! :) This is my first CD. I started playing the guitar seriously around '99 and have been at it since. Got into it from some friends in Germany. Got into the songwriting on down the road and now I have a bunch of songs, besides just what is on this CD. My 2nd CD should be pretty cool, once I ever get the money to make a CD, that is. Orchid Child was my first song that I started on. It's the classic, get your heart kicked in song that helps fuel a zillion breakup--type songs. It was fun in a painful, sort-of way. Uh, yeah... :) Chris Lieck, president of Tejas Records in San Antonio, digs some of my music and really liked Orchid Child. He helped me on production and we recut the song. He also mastered the CD. I originally made the album I guess at Bayside Studio in Austin and sent it out for mastering, etc.. I love music. It totally rocks! I got to play on the Fox 7 news morning show, here in Austin, the way cool, live musical capital of the world. I also got my song--Orchid CHild on NPR's open mic online show for amateur musicians. Robin Hilton selected my song and said he personally liked it the best of the bunch for that week, which was cool--since they get like hundreds of submissions per week and can only choose around 5-10 songs to showcase per week. My goal is to get on the radio at some point. I have learned a lot about the music industry and have a better feel for what it takes to make it and it takse a friggin gob of hard work, talent and persistence and some luck or good opportunity let's say, to make it. Making it big takes a more complex alignment of factors. :) heh, heh. Like how many people you can sleep with on the way up! ;) Just kidding. I don't sleep with anyone. But kissing up does happen. Anyways, that's it for now. Hope you enjoy my songs. Hopefully I can have some music videos in the future, maybe land some film scores or something. Oh yeah, for some of you naive musicians out there that think your music will get on the radio magically, it won't happen almost all of the time, so get used to marketing your music--save some cash, get it marketed professionally, bust your butt, get out live and play the gigs, network and all that. There, hope that helps some. :) Check out the artist's website: http://www.garageband.com/artist/matthewoliver Track List: 1. 4 Leaf Clover 2. Orchid Child recut 3. Crashing Down 4. The Path 5.
