Quick note to say I will (for real) be on @cbcradioq this Friday chatting about my new music - it's airing Feb 5 10:30 am (EST) ...tune in, naturally!

I’m in the newspaper! I love this hilarious quote - “ambient music is totally going mainstream” hahaha This is a lovely article, it perfectly encapsulates how I feel about the music I make and what I’m excited for in the coming year. It’s in print in the Saturday @TorontoStar

My new song ‘On Air’ is out today. I hope yours ears adore it! This is the first single from my new album Ambient Ensemble. Recorded in a church, I played the piano, slowed it to half-speed, added some classic synths and overdubbed a small chamber ensemble. Et voila, ambient!

It’s my birthday, 36 today! I’m gonna smile, look to the light, open my optimistic eyes and let gratitude flow freely. That’s my game plan this year. Lots of love to my friends, my family, and honestly, everyone on earth. Photo by @curtisperry

Proud to say I’m the new technical director with @SAW_Centre , an artist-run centre in Ottawa. I help ensure sure all the concerts, events and exhibitions look and sound excellent. I’m exhilarated to be entrusted with this work & excited for what’s to come! Photo: @curtisperry

#nowplaying @bestfernmusic - Way Inside @ForwardMusic @nick__schofield @alexiaavina

I’m not sure if it’s a faux pas to actually promote one’s music here or it’s mostly one-liners but if you’re with me on this here’s a well written article with the music video for the song I’m currently promoting/proud to share. undertheradarmag.com/news/premiere_…

Such excitement! New song ‘Way Inside’ from my album with Alexia Avina. We made this music in the Rocky Mountains writing a million songs all day everyday. It was beautiful but also honestly a bit intense. I think this song captures the crazy creative flow we were feeling.

Big thanks to @Under_Radar_Mag premiering the song and lots of love to Hugo Bernier for taking this photo AND making a magical music video, it’s perfect

Thanks for the support! To offer a dose of reality, this was my third time applying for the same project. If anyone has questions I’m always happy to share my experience with grant applications.

YES! I got the Canada Council for the Arts grant. Ambient music is alive and well my friends.

@MattBobkin @exclaimdotca You rock, Matt - thanks for all your work over the years!

Big life update: this is my last week at @exclaimdotca after six great years! Massive thanks to all the colleagues, contributors, artists, publicists, organizers, promoters, managers, etc. who gave me so many wonderful adventures, experiences and memories.
