About Me

L!ghtworker*T is Thomas Matzka, songwriter/singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, lightworker and visionary from Eisenstadt (Austria).
The world is changing. There is constant change. A flood of offers. An avalanche of stimuli. It’s not always easy to find enough time to make the correct decisions…
Please take the time to accompany me on his path, my vision of peace, joy and freedom. Lively – as colourful as the rainbow – and strengthened by the endless power of the light and its energy.
It’s music from the land of the sun. From his “Castlecountry”, Burgenland. Heart warming in its honesty and analogue. Danceable and earthy. Songs for love and therefore peace on earth. A musical collage to be compared with something between Cat Stevens and John Lennon with influences mainly from folk-rock-reggae-groove-funk.
Working with the light is a major theme of my creative work and this is reflected in the positive texts of my songs, in the atmosphere while recording as well as in the harmonious choice of tones. Letting my intuition guide me plays an important part in all this.
I draw my strength from the simple things in life, from my dedication for and my work in nature with its precious elements and fruits. I regularly meditate and then use the connections between sounds, colours and chakras. I glide through life with open eyes (and ears) and often the light worker becomes light in both senses of the word. The eye gives light to the body (Matthew 6, Verse 22).

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/13/2007
Band Website: LightworkerT.com
Band Members: Thomas Matzka - producer, music and lyrics, all instruments and vocals

Influences: For my music’s message, I'm inspired by the Pannonian climate and Burgenland culture in general. Specifically I draw on the ancient values and cultural beauty of the region which together with its associated lifestyle, is something that (by analogy) pervades the whole new album.

Ofcourse I feel influenced and supported by all of the cosmic lights all over the universe and the warming flames of the ascended masters.
I'm also inspired by some great musicians: Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Paul Weller, Bob Marley, Lenny Kravitz, the Who, Galliano, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janis Joplin, the Police, Daniel Lanois, Coldplay, Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, Dire Straits and The War.
Sounds Like: Musically speaking it is a very harmoniously arranged cross-border journey between art and commercial interests doing without too many special and fancy effects. The main instrumentation is via vocals (English), drums, electric bass, acoustic and electric guitars as well as piano. For the most part L!GHTWORKER*T plays all the instruments himself, but sometimes he invites guest musicians into his studio.
Record Label: *Klonk Records
Type of Label: Indie
