Kingsway Music Library - Matt MacNeil Vol. 3
Matt MacNeil’s music takes on many forms, and here on his third volume for the Kingsway Music Library he stretches his eclectic muscles, offering a dense mixture of otherworldly sounds and imaginative settings.
Matt continues to push himself into unfamiliar territory as a composer and instrumentalist with each volume and this one is no exception, except now he sits a little more comfortably in the unknown, each piece having a little more time and space to breathe. Another exciting volume in an already solid collection, Matt delivers yet again.
