What? No comments about Matthew? Who runs this site anyway? The kinkiest sexyist freak on the scene he is(was) with ethereal boots that leave tracks across one's heart. And a party he threw. But seriously, this creative bloke is a joy to create magick with. A psychic ally to the 23rd degree. It all started with a drone we drove home. Perhaps a Seraphic reunion someday will come with all members past and past present for one big high rockin' event. Hu knew? And who's gonna bring it all together?

Oh, how I miss Matthew, lost to the west coast and the hills of San Francisco... I've worked with a lot of musicians, but my relationship with Matthew has probably been the most rewarding. He's not just a phenomenal person - and having lived with him for several years, I can attest it's his natural personality - but he has such good intuition when it comes to music, and collaborating with very different people. He's a grounding force for personalities, but a lightning rod for musical expression. Working with him in Seraphim and Visitor were both catalytic experiences, and I'm grateful to him for that. There's just no keyboardist that I'd rather write with. He's creative, inspiring, honest and encouraging. You can't ask for more than that.
