Wired.com Review of a movie I was in "The Heart Is a Drum Machine"
What is music? It’s a simple question, but it leads director Christopher Pomerenke in many complicated artistic and scientific directions in his documentary The Heart Is a Drum Machine, out Tuesday on DVD.
It’s an expansive, inviting film, which embraces everything from Voyager’s Golden Record and aboriginal funeral chants to brain-music therapy and pop music branding. Along the way, Pomerenke’s mostly unassuming movie is enhanced by interviews with artists, scientists and others deeply invested in charting the pathways of the heart, the prenatal vibration that establishes our musical universe, as well as the mind that modifies those vibrations into meaning.

New project Global Sound Lodge for Haiti
Long time musical partner Lanny Cordola and myself have formed Global Sound Lodge a new musical consciousness. Our first song entitled "Hands Together" was written for the Hatian people in this time of tragedy in their homeland. We hope to build a group of international musicians with varied humanitarian efforts based on situations around the world that need our attention. John Coltrane believed music can heal the world in his song "Love Supreme". John Lennon had this vision as well. GSL have songs ready to record for Aung San Suu Kyi, Neda who was shot during the Iranian elections.
After many years traveling the world playing music and meeting so many people. I believe it is in us all to come together with love and music to help one another.

love one another my friends,
Matt
