"Matlock" - Recorded Live on Lake Winnipeg (original instrumental song)
Channel: Phil J Drums
Date: 28/08/2017

Here's a tune called "Matlock" which I wrote/recorded live at Matlock Beach on Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba Canada. I love this style of music. It makes me feel like I'm about to voyage the high seas. Watch till the end for Behind The Scenes! Drums and main guitar recorded live as seen :) I recorded additional guitars in our van in a WalMart parking lot, and pianos in a Starbucks :P.

This song is copyright free so feel free to use it in your own videos as background music. Links back to this video are much appreciated if you do :) Download it here for free: http://philjdrums.s3.amazonaws.com/free-downloads/matlock/Phil%20J%20-%20Matlock%20Beach.mp3

One of my goals with this series of videos is to keep the music simple and not overthink it. I tend to take a long time perfecting (and never feeling like it is) before I release songs (not that it's a bad thing). But here I'm challenging myself to be minimalistic with everything and see what I can do. Living in a van definitely makes it easy to be minimal since recording additional guitar parts in a hot parking lot is challenging :P

The drums are a custom invention of mine :P I plan to do a full video showing them in detail - and how you can build your own soon!

We are travelling across Canada while living in our van. Stay tuned for more #WrittenOnTheRoad episodes!
