My name is Matthew Schoening.I am an independent artist from San Francisco, CA. With my current project, I compose my own music that I perform on electric cello, through a complicated process of live looping and layering. I only have 2 rules for myself:
1) Everything I do has to be live, with no pre-recorded tracks.
2) All of the sounds have to be created on my electric cello.
The video above is a very small taste of what I am able to do live. For more music samples, you can visit my website: http://www.soloelectriccello.com
Hey Matt, I received the album a couple days ago and I love it! Thanks for this amazing and inspiring experience! :)

Hey Matt,
How's it going? Any word? I'm really looking forward to your new composition.
Can't wait.
No pressure but I feel like a kid at Xmas!
:)
Dude, unsolicited advice:
Trust your process, trust the timing,
Pardon me, but this is rhyming.
When complete it will be done,
And THEN enjoyed by everyone !!
Love, ~Other Dude
Follow the muse, brother!
I agree with the others. I'd rather you take your time and work out your magic, as I don't care when it's done specifically.
Better not to rush. Take your time and be pleased with your work. I personally don't care when it is completed; I know it will be great.
re your update.I say don't sweat the timing.Xmas would be nice,but doing it well is best.Be Well-Ed
I believe in you. You can do it!
Congrats....can't wait to hear some more of that soul soothing music :)
Yaaaayyyyyyyy. Over the liiiine. Congratulations.
Woo hoo! Congratulations! I really look forward to the upcoming album.
It's an honor to support you Matthew. Sorry I wasn't able to get on here until this week!
Thanks for making the world a better place with your art Matthew!!!! We are fortunate to be able to support the creation of such beauty!!!
Good luck with your "drive".If the new one is half as good as the last i consider it money well spent!BE WELL--------------Ed
hi, this is exciting. You are so unique; your music is extraordinary.
I have backed this as a gift for someone else, is there a way to put it in his name?
Thank you
You are so talented! I have seen you perform twice, and both times I was completely blown away by your music. It is beautiful and unique!
Your performance at the Searaphim Dome party in Ashland was the highlight of the evening. Thanks for showing up. Glad to help out the Kickstarter project. Cheers
