New Studio is complete!

The new studio titled "Dark Room Studio" is complete and now it is time to get to work on the new material. It has been a year since new music has been written so the anticipation of this studio being finished has been high. I do not plan to disappoint! 

New Studio, New Project!

Hello Everyone, been enjoying the new year with a bit of a break, over the next month I will be upgrading my studio to a larger dedicated environment which will give me the green light to start on some new projects, I have plenty of ideas and new tracks on hold because of this. Nothing worse than relocating mid project. This does not effect the live performances.

Infinity Album release update

After so long of juggling work, music, shows and family, I have finally finished the last song for the new album “Infinity“.  This comes on the brink of Online sales shooting through the roof and also being nominated for a 2011 Hollywood Music in Media Award for the song “Truly Eve“. The release of “Infinity” has been an ongoing joke among my close friends and fans about the time it has taken, but with nothing more than a final mix down and mastering, it should be released this spring. I have elected to release it first Digitally on all online music sites and the Physical CD in Summer. I truly believe that “Infinity” will show to be my best work as it continues to bring an eclectic feel as I have done with all the previous albums, a little bit of everything for everyone.

The unofficial track list...

Lyrical songs on the way

Well after so long to have finally completed the music only tracks on Infinity, it is time to work on the 2 vocal songs. The first being a redux version of "Tears in Rain" with all new music and a smooth beat to bring it up to a new level. Plus I am very happy that I have secured "Cari Golden" (a well sought after Hollywood talent in the electronic world of music) to lay down that vocal tracks. We go into studio this Tuesday to record and it will be non other than "C.G. Ryche" who will engineer the mix. The other song "My World" is a different more upbeat track compared to Tears, and I am not set yet on the vocalist, I have been in talks with Joanna Stevens of "Delerium, Conjure One, Solar Twins, also a success in her own right" to sing, of coarse Cari,...

New Sanctuary CD's on the way!

After coming to the end of another run of Santuary CD's, I will have the new batch repressed in the Green 4 Panel Wallets, very much like the new Carpe Diem repress. They are made from 100% recycled paper and contain only the plastic of the CD itself. Contrary to most peoples beliefs, they are more expensive to press than the Standard 4 Panel Jewel Cases that I used before. the product will be better and the CD's are now encoded with all the text info, so if you put the Cd in your car the Artist, Track, and Album will show in text. Other than that, 4 shows the week of X-mas and I will be busy, so Merry Christmas to all of you, Cheers! Troy MATURO

Forever is sold out for now.

During my last show at Disneyland on September 10th I sold the last Forever album in stock. Forever will be repressed and available in a few weeks and there are a few physical CD's left at CDbaby.com and Amazon.com, or it is available for digital download at all online stores...

MATURO is in at Disneyland

After only performing since May three months ago, MATURO is in at Disneyland, CA USA. We played a last minute show after receiving a call from managment that morning, It went off very well and got us a performing contract for the downtown area. So it looks like we will be regulars with a few dates every month there, our first schedule dates for August should be in by the end of July!

After many years the first set of live shows are here. It all begins May 2 2009 and bookings will continue from now on. See the Calendar page to see the dates!

Collaborations

I have recently been working with other artists, mainly female vocalists to expand my field of music. It is consisting of licensing existing music for them to sing to and working on new music to support their vocal tracks. I will post links and more news when some tracks are finished.

New Album INFINITY

I have been working on my next album titled INFINITY. I hope to have it released towards the middle of 2009. The album will stay inline with the known MATURO style, but I do hope to push the creative limit just a bit. INFINITY should have between 10 and 14 tracks with the usual remixes. The first completed song titled SHADOWLESS is uploaded on the MATURO www.myspace.com/tmaturo profile. Check it out!
Infinity

Live Performances

I have been working on setting up for the live shows and since it has been some time since I played live, remembering the parts that I play on each song and the allocations of the sounds on the keyboards has been a challenge. It is coming back bit by bit as I have over 2 ½ hours of music to relearn. I hope to be ready for a show by early 2009. The only thing is that it is taking away from my work on the next album…That might get pushed back to late 2009.
