NEW ALBUM!! "MOMENTUM POTENTIAL: Instrumental Music for Picture"

Matthew J Doughty (sometimes credited: Matt Doughty, MJD) just released his debut 10-song Instrumental Album titled "Momentum Potential: Instrumental Music for Picture" on iTunes, AmazonMP3, MyspaceMusic, and more!

Most of the album was written during the fall/winter of 2009, when a popular TV Production Company from Hollywood asked Doughty to write some background music for one of their Reality TV Shows.


"I wrote, produced, and recorded the entire project myself.  It took about 3 weeks of isolating myself with my acoustic guitar and a midi keyboard controller to complete the basic tracks.", Doughty says.  "I've always been inspired by composers such as John Williams, Danny Elfman, and Hans Zimmer, so it was a dream come true to write the music for this project.  ProTools M-Powered 8 on my Apple MacBook 13" laptop worked brilliantly, and my AKG K240M headphones help with it's too late to work with the studio monitors up loud." In the end, MJD Published 43 minutes of instrumental background music for TV in February 2010, and this album of original music for working, walking, relaxing, and more.


Chad Benzel of The Entity Music Production Team (www.TheEntityMusic.com) performs and co-produces two tracks, and Jay Trammell of Fat Cat Studio in Sacramento Mixed and Mastered seven of the ten tracks.  Tunecore.com helped me distribute my MP3 Album via CD and Online Digital Release to iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster, MyspaceMusic, and more!

MJD INTRO

My name is Matthew J Doughty and this what LIFE IN A DAY on Earth was like for me in the year 2010.

I am a writer - producer - performer and I've been on a spiritual journey thru music for the past 29 years.  I'm turning 30 soon, and I am excited about it!  This is OUR DECADE!  It's Gen X & Gen Y's turn!   As I've been reflecting on this Mass Observation Video Project, the questions that I have are:
- What will humankind think about GOD, War, and Organized Religion when future generations watch this video time capsule?
- What is it that we're doing to make the world a better place… to Improve LIFE IN A DAY on Earth for future generations?  Now, That's Good Question!

My story is for all of the Musicians - Writers and Tech's out there. (Yes, in 2010 we "still" use CDs - BluRay is the best they could come up with after DVD?  We still wonder what will take over mp3?  ProTools?  Apple MacBook computers?)

My story is for all of the Lovers of Love out there!  Take strength in your Passions!
Here, humankind sits  poised at the edge of eternity… our Future Generations in constant peril due to our ancestors' cavalier attitude towards War.
How will we act?

---
The filmmakers (Ridley Scott, Kevin MacDonald) asked me to answer some...

QUESTIONS:

- what do you love the most?
MUSIC and LOVE.  They are my guiding stars on the horizon… each in 3 parts.
- MUSIC (Write, Produce, Perform)
- LOVE (Family, Friends, Soulmate)

- what do you fear the most?
Fear of Abandonment.  Fear of not being Loved.  Is that Universal?  I understand that it was my Early pain that I had to OVERCOME in this Life.  I have Released Fear from my Reality.  I live for Love (GOD) and I let my Heart call me forward through the Open Doors of my Future.

- what makes you laugh?
Jim Brewer's Goat Boy talk on YouTube!
The Cosmic Tragedies of Life when you're hanging on too tight.
Hot Tubs = happiness

- what do you have in your pockets/purse?
- iPhone "OG" (1G)
- keys
- wallet

If you count my Backpack (Man-Purse) then Tour Rules would dictate the essentials… ipod/headphones  notebook - laptop/charger - clean socks - etc...

MJD Summary

I've been re-watching "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" and "The Secret" with my roommate lately, and I've been reminded of how powerful our FOCUS, INTENTION, and CORE BELIEFS are to our Reality.
 
Every Breath is a new chance to Change Everything!  You saw how I lived MY life today.

MY question for you is:  "What will You do with Your Life tomorrow?"

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EACH OF THESE:

Last 5 Minutes of Bill Maher's Religulous

Focus not on "religion". Focus on the source: LOVE.
- Matthew J Doughty

How about we all stop focusing on "religion", which is simply Man's attempt to understand Life, God, & the Universe.

How about we all focus on the purpose of life: LOVE. The point of All of This is to get back to Love. To find it, share it - to BE LOVE again.

Peace, Hope, Joy & all of the "Good" things in life stem from LOVE.
It's opposite is FEAR.

Remember:
"Life is Simply Shades of Grey,
Don't forget LOVE is everything,
Light & Dark rest side by side,
& All will be okay… someday."

PERFORMING AT MERCY MINISTRIES HOME IN LINCOLN, CA

This week, I am performing music and leading worship at the Mercy Ministries Home in Lincoln, CA for private sessions hosted by Nancy Alcorn and two Special Guest Speakers.  Since 1983, this fine organization has "provided Hope and Healing to generations of desperate Young Women who are seeking Freedom from life-controlling problems such as: Addictions, Depression, Eating Disorders, Physical and Sexual Abuse, Unplanned Pregnancy, and Self Harm".  If you haven't heard of Mercy Ministries before, check out www.MercyMinistries.org for more info on how to help support their important cause. 

Last Fall, I was invited to the Grand Opening of the brand new Mercy Ministries Home in Lincoln, CA.  Nancy Alcorn came from Nashville, TN and gave an incredibly moving speech before cutting the ribbon and making Northern California the newest site of a "Mercy House": a refuge where young women from all backgrounds can remove themselves from the darkness of abusive situations and make a 9 month journey back to Health, Wellness, and a Life full of Light and Color.  To be able to support Mercy Ministries, and to sing with the angelic choir that are "The Mercy Girls", has been one of the most unexpected blessings in my life thus far.  For the first time, I understand the Beauty… the Purpose, the Magic of a Flower… a Woman.

Yes, I've witnessed the positive impact that Mercy Ministries is having in Real People's lives on a weekly basis.  In December, I attended the very first Mercy House - Lincoln "graduation".  Since then, I've been volunteering along with Cindi Benzel and Generations music team from Harvest Time Church ( www.htclincoln.org) to lead a weekly morning worship service for the girls.  On most days, I am playing 5-string Electric Bass, singing Backing Vocals, and operating Drum Loops from an Apple MacBook Pro laptop computer.  Recently, I started using my Dunlop Mr. Crybaby Wah/Volume Pedal inline to effect and manipulate the loops while I sing and play.  Over the past year, I have seen the 9 month Mercy Ministries process bring Hope and Life to hurting people.  Lives are being changed every day, and it has been absolutely amazing to see the transformation that occurs!
