My first really succesful attempt to integrate spanisch guitar with an electronic track. I personally really love this one.

Minimalist beginning ... Be sure to keep listening until the climax peaks. My personal favorite of the moment. I'm still tweaking it a bit. Especially the rythm section still needs 'that extra something'. Coming soon...

Knights of Day Knights of Day
Bit strange song with a positive vibe. Keep listening until the string section comes in; I bet you're gonna like that.

GoliatlaS GoliatlaS
A very dynamic tune. Custom made rythm. One of my favorites, although i must say it still needs some tweaking.

Acoustic Guitar Jam of mine. Take 1 so a bit sloppy at times. Yet i like the overall sound. If anyone with a studio agrees, please let me know because i lack proper monitoring capability. Or if ur close to Breda in the Netherlands; Come jam with me,
Hey, welcome to Island, a somewhat experimental music project. My name is Thomas Mattheij and music is my passion. I play guitar, sing, compose and produce. The tracks i'm uploading at the moment are some melodic electronic tracks of wich I'm not entirely sure in what genre they belong, but hey; fuck genres! Is this the 21st century or what?!?
Hehe if u have an idea, feel free to let me know. I'd be honored if u'd listen to them and give me your opinion.
The tracks started off as background tracks for guitar music, but soon enough they got a life of their own so speak. Maybe I'll add instumental parts, maybe not. I'm working on a poppy guitar/electronical demo, wich will be uploaded as soon as it's completed.
Hope u enjoy!
