Exploding Brains, Bite
Me!, (2008) offers emotion, energy, passion and direction for the
revolution taking place right now in America.
This music screams with urgency. Our country is screaming too. Support
your country, stand up for your freedom and let's Rock the
World! "Paul Ravere with a microphone and a distorted guitar" "The loud
road to enlightenment" "21st century wake up call" "Cheaper
than a decent meal and you can eat these Brains again and again and
again"

Zero Hour (2007) by
Matt Kjeldsen uses indigenous sounds mixed with modern instrumentation
and production to create a musical and
lyrical journey into the dying native world and the impending loss of
freedom and will to power that all people face at the hands of the
very few.
Partial list of the songs: Flood, The Color of Blue, Meaning Comes to Life, Watching the World, Everything's Gonna Be Alright and Ishmaelian Monks of Warning
Partial list of the songs: Flood, The Color of Blue, Meaning Comes to Life, Watching the World, Everything's Gonna Be Alright and Ishmaelian Monks of Warning
Matt Kjeldsen's Symphony of the House (2008) offers a respite from the urgency and the warnings of Exploding Brains, Exploding
Brains 2 and Zero Hour. Symphony provides a certain comfort and tranquility that comes only from home. Symphony contains Opus
5105 that uses all samples from the house and grounds in Austin.
Partial list of the songs: Beautiful Toys, Summer of Sadness, Believe Your Eyes, What If I Fall? and Try

Trash Can Eggs (2008)
by Matt Kjeldsen completes a many year project of never ending starts of
songs and tracks. With the
completion of Exploding Brains, Exploding Brains 2, Zero Hour and
finally, Symphony of the House, all else on the hard drive was
finished, mixed and canned. Trash can eggs are made from the leftovers
that either go into the eggs or into the trashcan. It is the end of
a journey and the gateway to the next.
Partial list of the songs: Where Do I Sign?, We Can't Run Away, Another Monday Comes Again, Delusional Underworld, Fusion Fashion Diva and Sail On Bye

Radio Banned (2003) by
The Runes critiques modern life with a snicker. The album is presented
as though it is a compilation of bands,
all of differing genres, playing music with lyrics of political
incorrectness. No profanity is used.
Partial list of the songs: Party of God, Lick Your Teeth, The Big Wanker Blues, The Deca Dance, Brain Dead, America Breathing and Progress
Partial list of the songs: Party of God, Lick Your Teeth, The Big Wanker Blues, The Deca Dance, Brain Dead, America Breathing and Progress
Lost Songs (1998), the debut release by The Runes was a major accomplishment for the band because it was recorded in the garage
with a Roland VS 880. Much was learned, but unfortunately using the new technology also proved to be costly. Three songs were
completely wiped from the hard drive just before completion. Thus, the title.
Partial list of the songs: Big Texas Sky, Island Bed, On Fire for You, Little Shitty Tune, Back To The Wild and You When You Were Real
Partial list of the songs: Big Texas Sky, Island Bed, On Fire for You, Little Shitty Tune, Back To The Wild and You When You Were Real
Dancing with Ghosts
(2001) by The Runes was the second release of what turned out to be
five. Dancing with Ghosts was conceptual
in nature and the songs flow in style and theme. It was a real departure
from the live performance based sound of Lost Songs. No one
knew what the end result was going to be when they created and recorded
their parts.
Partial list of the songs: When You Were Real, Darkest Dreams, Rolling the Dice, Town of Song and Somewhere Else
Partial list of the songs: When You Were Real, Darkest Dreams, Rolling the Dice, Town of Song and Somewhere Else
Specters in the Mist
(2004) by The Runes was the second of the ghost trilogy. Most of the
songs were actually played by the Runes
when they performed live. They were finally recorded in studio and thus
these once live songs were to live again.
Partial list of the songs: Somethin' Happy, Armin' Myself, The Party, I Burn, 70 or Dead, I Feel It and Just A Little
Partial list of the songs: Somethin' Happy, Armin' Myself, The Party, I Burn, 70 or Dead, I Feel It and Just A Little
What Remains (2005) by
The Runes along with the unreleased Last Songs, ended the odyssey of
The Runes. Loose ends were tied
up, songs and tracks were finished and then the hard drive was cleared.
The Runes went out with little fanfare, but What Remains
contains some of the best songs that no one has ever heard. The ghost
trilogy was complete.
Partial list of the songs: Wild Sky, Lost Along the Way, Somewhere, Crowded Room, Licking the Mirror and Slipping Away
Partial list of the songs: Wild Sky, Lost Along the Way, Somewhere, Crowded Room, Licking the Mirror and Slipping Away
Hangin' On The Edge (2002) by Gravity Jacket wasn't so much a debut release as a once again reunion of two long time friends.
Matt Kjeldsen and Mac McNabb performed together in Gravity Jacket and before that with The Name. Although they no longer
perform together, they are tied by their roots and connected through Matt's songs and Mac's musicianship and production skills.
Hangin' On The Edge stands alone.
Partial list of the songs: Up To You, I Deny That, Something in the Attic, Pile of Crocodiles and Maze
Partial list of the songs: Up To You, I Deny That, Something in the Attic, Pile of Crocodiles and Maze
Hidden from View by
Gravity Jacket was an expensive studio recording that captured the sound
of the band, even though the band
no longer existed. Fame and fortune did not follow, but this recording
and the songs and performances remain poignant and unique.
Partial list of the songs: If Only, Snow Party, Just a Little, How It Feels and After the Wonder
Partial list of the songs: If Only, Snow Party, Just a Little, How It Feels and After the Wonder
Stone Soup (2004) by
Matt Kjeldsen is essentially Matt's first solo album. It was never
intended to be so. Stone Soup was created out
of the hard drive finishing and clearing effort of the What Remains and
Last Songs days. Some of the tracks are clearly demos of tunes
that ended up on Hangin' on the Edge. Others are completed recordings of
songs that could've been Rune's tunes. It is what it is.
Partial list of the songs: Drowse, Bring It On, Healing, Driving and Plastic Veneer
Partial list of the songs: Drowse, Bring It On, Healing, Driving and Plastic Veneer
Infiltrate (2000) is
the original Music for Media release. Some of these tracks were composed
for the documentary, Crime Scene Cleaners.
Weeping in the Dark has been used again and again on television shows
from Oprah to the Conspiracy Files to Animal Police.
Partial list of the songs: Flutter, Weeping in the Dark, A Superior Machine, Looking for Loop Land, Red Eyes in the Storm Drain, Infiltrate and The Little Boy Said No

A Colorful Dream
(2010) by Matt Kjeldsen is a journey into the beauty and the disillusion
of the American vision; to the closing
horizon in the new century. Spacey modern textures and clean production
create a movie of sound with lyrics that speak to the
questioning and the searching people of this now, troubled land.
Partial list of songs: Melancholy Daze, Coma Nation, Spinuendo, What Once Was, Frozen, Spirit Whales, There from Here and A Colorful Dream

The follow up to Infiltrate. Just like on Infiltrate, it uses hand
played instrumentation to simulate loop driven music.
Partial list of the songs: Reinfiltrate, Blanco River Falls, The Bamboo Adventure Loop, Other World Serenade, Industrial Funk
and Fly Away

was attempting to create with Infiltrate
and Reinfiltrate. Assimilate provides a whole new range of genres and
sounds.

made samples and atmospheres to create this blend of musical tracks.

The Beats of Sweet
Street (2004) is urban grooving with Matt's individual perspective. Just
like all of Matt's tracks, it is not a pure
music form, but rather a blend. The predominant feel is inner-city.
Partial list of the songs: Sweet Street Swirl, Gobi the Grifter, Hangin' with the Phat Man, Midnight Cool, Headlights and Tailights
and Low Down

Other World Grooves (2005) creates modern tracks from sounds of the emerging world. The grooves are formed from cultures that
we are familiar with but really do not know. They are western in application but they emerge from other worlds.
Partial list of the songs: Fight Film, Holy Sight, Rainy Blues, Psycho Disco, Middle East Confusion, Clues at the Crime Scene and Groovy Groove

Visceral Textures
(2006) is a lush expanse of melody and rhythm. It continues the themes
of the emerging world and the forgotten worlds
from Other World Grooves, but then goes on to create a unique feel. The
songs are of the earth and yet scented with western art.
Partial list of the songs: High Speeds and High Altitudes, Exotic Temptress, Strange New Atmosphere, Grapes and Massage Oil, Industrial Reggae, Garden of Dark Surprise and Therein Lies the Answer

Spirits from a Dying
World (2006) was written with the Discovery and Nature Channels
specifically in mind. Each track tells a story of
the natural world or of the attack against the indigenous peoples. This
is one of my favorites.
Partial list of the songs: Sparks and Lava, Dreamtime Refugees, Sub Saharan Solstice, Forgotten Ways of Being and Perilous Crossing

Dig Sound Collection 1
(2006) was created for a fledgling music library with a new system of
tracing the use of music. The music
styles are upbeat, funky and busy. They are designed to run seamlessly
behind sports highlights and voice-overs.
Partial list of the songs: Big Beat Mania, Trans-Aleutian Orchestra, Sports Highlights, Pressure Funk, Progressive Jazzin' and Black and White Mystery

KnotrillyRecords Music
for Media 10 (2007) contains a great many home made samples. The tracks
are quite diverse and the CD
overall has a different feel and an indefinable uniqueness. The end of
the CD contains variations of the track Wild, which was used on
The Amazing Race. The producers felt various versions could be used.
Partial list of the songs: Canonesque Allusions, Sitaroo, Creeping from the Gutter, Gardens, Wild, Cool Glide and Wild variation 3

films pieced together as a soundtrack.
Scary and dark and very effective.

Round and Round the Race Track

Whales and Waterways
vol 1 (2009) uses soft synths to create orchestral backdrops. I'm very
proud of the way these tracks came out.
This CD is much different from all of the Music for Media CDs that came
before it. Whales and Waterways is now one of my favorites.
Partial list of the songs: Boundless Horizon, Gliding in the Cloud Mist, Bad Medicine Dream, Confusion and Emptiness, Dark Tension Builds, Whales and Waterways and Solitude Becomes Wonder

progressive, expansive, experimental and powerful. These tracks are very
dynamic and seductive. TV producers
love the functionality of these instrumentals.

Gravity Jacket (2011)
by Gravity Jacket sounds very modern and young, yet the lyrics speak to
the mature and to the introspective. The
production is fresh and adventurous, but it always serves the individual
nature of each and every song.
