Transcending the stigma of most cover albums, this one feels like an anomaly in Horn's catalog. Released in 1974, after Inside 1 & 2 and his Kashmir work, and before his peak a few years later with Inside the Great Pyramid

Your response to Visible Light has been overwhelming. It’s been two months since our debut album has entered the world, and it means so much to see the music reaching people. Thank you for listening. visible-light.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...

I’ve just launched a new Substack called STONEWASHED. This 1st issue reflects on live performance, travel, and aging.

I’d be happy to connect there if you’re on the platform. Subscribe for reflections on life, nature, and music: open.substack.com/pub/matthewh...

✨ East coast friends! I'm happy to share that I'll be in Brooklyn later this month, for a special performance at Reforesters Laboratory, an intimate listening space in Williamsburg.

I checked, and I've been subscribed to the Vital Weekly newsletter since early 2008. Frans de Waard consistently reviewed music before anyone else really cared, regardless of name or perceived status. He helped put my own little label on the map, along with many other labels willing to send a copy.

I’m so happy to share the debut album from Visible Light today! New music for cello, flute, and synthesizer, with textures from the Minnesota wilderness. Inspired by solar rhythms, leaf-fall patterns, and the hidden language of trees.

It’s been one week since we shared our new track ‘Losing Leaves’. Have you listened yet? ✨

Visible Light’s new single ‘Losing Leaves’ is a song inspired by leaf-fall patterns and seasonal cycles. We learn to let go of that which no longer serves us, in preparation for whatever comes next.

Took a lovely morning hike through Eloise Butler Bird Sanctuary today. It’s always a joy to move through the landscape, connect, and discover surprises around every corner 🌼
