About Me

Hi, I'm Matt Houde I've been playing guitar for about 4 1/2 years. It's pretty much been the center of my life for just about 3 of them. I'm determined to become a great guitarist one day no matter what it takes, even if I have to travel to the forest moon of Endor to wipe out the Ewoks myself! Thats right I said it....but seriously becoming great one day would be a dream come true. I draw inspiration from many things around me including Nature, Friends, Family, Dreams, etc.
As of right now I will be doing all of the recordings myself at home using the extremely high quality audio editing program Audacity...anyone interested in doing drums on a few tracks or anything like that just message me.
The first song I composed titled "Spring" contains me doing all of the instruments. It was done in a very short amount of time and is a little bit sloppy, I would have made it perfect but I'm a lazy ass as some would say. That and I got tired of having to sit in front of the computer clicking redo for about 2 hours. So yea, enjoy my music and there will be more to come in the future!
Heres a really old vid of my band Decade playing...we've come so far since then lol.
