Matt Ploszaj is making music out of his apartment in Alexandria Virginia. He's recorded an album at Beauty Rock Records in New York City and another album down in Cordoba, Argentina.

Well, for right now it's just me. I was born in Houston, Texas and have pretty much lived here my whole life. I have been playing music since 1990; guitar first, then drums bass and piano, singing last. I have played in such bands as Third Stone, Shangril-La, Cracker Mojo and Anomaly. I have had the honor of playing with some wonderful musicians. In chronilogical order...Ryan Paulin, Sam Edel, Scott Wright, Will Fogle, Mark Waltimier, Brian Rosner, Mike Atala, Quinn Williams, Jeff Friesen, Todd Collins, Rob Ramsey, Sam Austin, Cameron Crafford, Eric Hanchey, Scott Ara, Paul Bawa, Justin Thigpen, Josh Misigaro and Sean Fitzpatrick. Now,with the support of my girlfriend, Lucie, I enjoy playing at open mics and any place that will take me. Anyway, I write and record all original material. I just finished my education for audio engineering. I am presently looking for work as a musician or engineer.

Crude but passionate on the piano. For the past three(?) years I've been exploring playing and listening to the instrument. I will pickup anything and make rhythmic melodics with anyone. At any time.

Some quotes from the book: Mozart, the man and the artist revealed in his own words. Compiled By Friedrich Kerst, Translated and edited by Henry Krehbiel.
“…Here, here and here [pointing to his ear, his head and his heart] is your school. If everything is right there, then take your pen and down with it; afterward ask the opinion of a man who knows his business… to a musically talented boy who asked Mozart how one might learn to compose” (pg. 5).
“Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, counterpointists to hack post-horses; therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: …-‘who knows most, knows least’ “(pg.7).

The program by Alesya Frolova and Victor Sopelckin
stands out from the others because of its wonderful
manner of collective playing and style. If you are any
kind of music fan, you will know what we are talking
about when we mention the thrill of discovery. It’s that
moment we all wait for, that instant when someone fresh
and unknown pierces right into you core and touches
your musical heart. And from that moment on, you feel
like these artists are your special treasure.
They were born to sing and create the joy of melody.
Victor Sopelckin maintains the clarity and purity of
a blues tone in his free way of playing the music and
adding his own voice in the course of some songs.
Alesya Frolova has unusual ability to sing like
a blues star with a perfect pitch and keep pace with
a trickiest instrumental breaks. Russian Radio of
America will be really happy to present her
beautiful personal style as a singer and songwriter.
Sit down and relax. Clear your mind and listen.
To know their music is to love them, and we bet you
will love the voice of Alesya and an art of Victor’s
playing.

Whatever the nature of the program, Magnificat has has been guided by the spirit of the early baroque in its emphasis on the expression of human emotion and dramatic narrative.

My name is Kyle. Im from Houston Texas. Ive been playing guitar for about 3 years, recording for less than a year now. I'm always looking for someone to collaborate with regardless of playing ability, instrument or genre. Im not great at playing and I don't claim to be. I just love sharing my ideas. There's a little bit of everything from metal, post rock, clean electric..ect. Thanks so much for listening.

I am a Christian songwriter and singer. I have been writing songs about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives since 1981.

I'm a Computer Science student just recording music for fun. I play the piano for my church, so my recordings will likely have a congregational piano sound.
