Welcome to Tarbox Cold Front,
the music of Mystic, Connecticut artist Mat Austin Tarbox.
To start things off, I've posted "Cleopatra" --- I wrote this back in 1992 with a keyboard, guitar, a drum mic, and a 4-track machine.
The rest of the songs on that 'Skeletons' cassette were written around 1995 on a Peavey keyboard sequencer as frameworks for a future Delta of Venus LP that never happened for a variety of reasons.
I hope you get a kick out of these instrumentals, if just to see one way a band's writing process can start off - the sequenced bits would eventually be pared back a bit as real drums, guitar, and vocals were added at band rehearsals.
Thanks for visiting - I will be posting more music soon, so please check back at some point -
