Matthew Shell's next album FM3 Every Morning is his most ambitious work yet. While nylon-string Flamenco guitar is still his primary instrument of expression, Matthew experiments heavily with MIDI guitar and new sounds like violin, saxophone, flute, trombone, flugelhorn, trumpet, Japanese koto, piano, synthesizers, bass guitar, 808 bass, acoustic drums, electronic drums, percussion, strings/orchestral elements, electric guitar, and soulful backing vocals to enhance the emotional impact of these wildly arranged instrumental pieces. If anything in the arrangements starts to get repetitive, Matthew switches things up, introduces a new instrumental soloist, a new sound, a new chord progression, a new key, or whatever it takes to keep the music as uniquely vibrant and vivid as possible.

The goal is for listeners to be thoroughly inspired and entertained, never knowing what's coming next, all the while being seamlessly immersed in this unique vibe.

The album features multiple GRAMMY winners and some of the best musicians in the world. Check out Maui Sunset 3.0 (with Kenny McNeil and Cord Martin on sax) and A Run in the Wild (with Cristina Botnari on violin) as great examples of this sound.

New album by Matthew Shell coming December 19, 2024:

Video Game Music
The Complete Collection
As an avid retro video game enthusiast, with Tetris, Super Mario, and F-Zero being Matthew Shell's favorite game franchises of all time, his 46-song album of completely original video game music creates a unique auditory experience that transcends traditional genre boundaries. Each track is meticulously crafted to evoke the emotional depth and narrative complexity often found in cinematic scores, yet each track provides variety and remains distinctly tailored to the interactive nature of video games.

From August through the end of December 2024, Shell is releasing a song every two days on his YouTube channel, currently at 60,000 subscribers and growing.

Much love to everyone for your support.
