About Me

Firstly thanks for stopping by! I have had so much positive reaction from my music , it has been an endless source of comfort. My first album was such an exciting project to undertake. I was so lucky , being new to music making and under the careful guidance of Zeljko Kerleta (my musical father) I had the opportunity to construct my first album and what a journey & education it was ! Nina Miranda , guest vocalist was the perfect focus for my musical backdrops, Her roots are unavoidable and that gave us that rich Brazilian flavour on several tracks. Her beautiful clear tones really defined the sound that became Arkestra one, how perfect she was for this project, none more so than on the track "I really want you" which for me is the standout track. This album is filled with sounds of nature. It is full of beautiful atmosphere, liveliness & soulfulness. One hopefully that you can play again and again without noticing that it's the 3rd time round !I am currently working on my 2nd lp .... more on this as it happens .. in the meantime .. please enjoy the sounds that float around your head ...Matthew Timoney plays Technics 1210,Vinyl manipulation/addiction Rhodes stage 73 electric piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, Akai/EMU samplers, Rhythm machine drumbox, Korg MS20 & SQ10 sequencer, Moog Sonic Six, Hammond B3 organ,Vibraphone, Harmonium, Thumb Piano, Roland space echo 501 tape delay, Watkins copycat tape delay, Guild M20, Vox peardrop guitar, Latin percussion,Bells, shakers, Neumann Mics Picture Comments Contact Box Generator Icons Collage MySpace Layouts Poll Generator
