Hi, my name is Michael Matteo. I'm from Long Island, New York. I've been writing and performing music since high school. I was in a couple of bands throughout those days. At the same time, I was starting to mess around with electronic music using programs like Fruity Loops and Acid. After the bands fizzled out, I went strictly electronic. In 2003, I created the alias NEOREV and spent the next couple of years trying to perfect an album's worth of tunes. All went south when my computer crashed and three years worth of music was blinked out of existence, except for some unmixed/unfinished demos burnt to disc. It was in 2006 where it started to pick up the pace. I bought some new toys to play with and eventually played some gigs. Promoted myself and uploaded songs on various websites and forums. Here I am now, I'm running mainly Reason with a touch of Fruity Loops. I was just introduced to Ableton and have been dabbling with that.
