March was a blast! It was a month that saw a lot of the work from the first two months of the year come together. Mel and I finished her album for RPM and have decided to use some of the tracks as demos for a new project we’re putting together under our old moniker “Boy Girl Party.” You can get a sampling on her bandcamp. We’ll also be taking the music live in May: On...

Who is Sylvia? (c) 2011 Mattroi Berger ...

February is turning out to be an incredibly busy month. First and foremost, I’m producing Melissa Lusk’s album for the RPM Challenge (write and record 10 songs in 28 days). It’s been a blast working with her - Everything she touches turns to melody, and my job has pretty much been pushing the record button and writing some bass parts here and there. Very excited to lay down...

Looking Back on the Song Cycle

I finished the Song Cycle a few weeks ago, and aside from occasionally noting how much free time I seem to have now, I haven’t really taken a good look back yet. I’m taking this morning to do so. I spent a bit of time traveling over the holidays, which afforded me the opportunity to listen back to the whole thing in one sitting: Not recommended. It was never a goal to craft a...

I’ve been busy over the past few months. Created a bandcamp profile where you can download the entire 2010 Song Cycle for free. Started a new band - Teen Girl Scientist Monthly - that has a music video and album coming out this month. And of course I’ve been trucking along on the Song Cycle. Just 5 left to go! Work has started up again on Fat Camp the Musical, and it looks like...

Just getting over a case of something - my voice was so raw all week I wasn’t able to record the vocals for Song Cycle #31 until today, putting me a full 7 days behind schedule. That would bum me out more, but I’ve spent my sick time working on a number of wonderful projects, so I really can’t complain. Yesterday was the final session of Fat Camp’s 3-week developmental...

Demo Files - Arden Project 1 Untitled Demo for...

Been a race of deadlines this month, and I’m not fit to run. All fun projects, though: Wrote a couple of “birdsongs” for 13P playwright Erin Courtney’s Map of Virtues, which ran at the Williamstown Theatre Festival this last weekend. Tried a few new things with these two tracks - both a’capella tunes sung by a narrating Bird Statue, both very open form to fit with...
