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

2010-08-31T21:49:00.000-07:00

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?"

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

2010-06-27T13:10:00.000-07:00

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!

ERIQ "The Assault" PERRAULT vs. "MR. HANGTOWN"

2010-06-24T16:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my dad was trying to find the outcome of an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts... think UFC) Fight that our friend Eriq "The Assault" Perrault fought in Placerville a week earlier. Eriq (Also known as Eric or Erik "The Irish Headache", but who we affectionally call Eriq "The Prodigy") is a Muay Thai fighter from Lincoln, CA (25 miles East of Sacramento, CA). Winning his first professional MMA fight a little more than a month ago, he came into last Saturday's Cage Fight with a 1-0 record.

Dad typed "Eriq Perrault" into Google's Search Engine and out of over 3,190,000 results on the web, he found MY picture next my Tweet from that evening as one of the top results. The reason this cracks me up, is the brilliant simplicity to how Google's WhiteHat SEO techniques reward us for taking the Small Steps! In other words, my website and name came up in a search for "Eriq Perrault" simply because I uploaded a simple, 1 line status update to my custom-linked Myspace / Facebook / Twitter / etc accounts from my iPhone just before the match began. Yes, there is a ton of initial setup work. Yes, creating the Online System for Your Brand can be quite the task to take on... but once you do, it's all about simple and consistent maintenance! In other words, once your Website, Social Networks, Blogs, and iPhone/iPad Apps are in place, all you need to do is Create Compelling Content! Write articles about the things you Love. Link your site to those of your peers and idols, and request the same from them because this will effectively "tie you together" in the internet.

I've been working on computers since I was 8 years old and building websites since I was fourteen. Two years ago, I began studying SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Techniques and Online Social Networking Marketing Strategies. Though it sounds complicated, and can be quite technical in the sense of working with HTML code, it basically boils down to a few simple steps:
1.) First, Sign up for EVERY social network available.
Create an artist page, upload photos/music/videos/blogs/etc, and keep a good record of your paper trail.
2.) Do as your Elementary School Math teacher used to say: "SHOW YOUR WORK".
I like to email a copy of everything I do to a unique email address (such as "Ideas" or "ToDo@(your url).com")
3.) Get your website Linked Up, Looking Professional, and Paying You Money!
You can even setup a Direct Deposit into your bank account ($$$!!!)
4.) Create Compelling Content
Post Photos, Videos, Blogs, Articles, Reviews, Music, and more! Update and promote these within everything you do online.
Get your website Linked Up, Looking Professional, and Paying You Money!
($$$!!!)
5.) Google anything you don't yet know how to do.
...Yeah... it's pretty much that easy. Beyond that, let me know if I can help with anything! (www.MatthewJDoughty.com/web/)

Poll: Do you think 'True Love' exists?

2010-06-10T14:39:00.000-07:00

Poll: Do you think 'True Love' exists?

WHAT IS LOVE?

2010-06-09T13:10:00.000-07:00

LOVE does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, does not delight in evil, and keeps no record of wrongs.

Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. We don't yet see things clearly - we're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist... but it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as Love sees us...

But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us: Trust steadily in God, Hope unswervingly, and Love extravagantly.

Faith, Hope and Love... But the greatest of these is LOVE.

-M.

U23D!!!

2008-03-09T22:53:00.000-07:00

I just got back from the IMAX where I met a few friends to see U23D!!!

It was... amazing! U23D is beautiful in so many ways! The musical performances were skillfully and passionately played, the audio and video recordings (IMAX 3D and Hi-Fi Surround) are sweet and toneful, and the visual camera work/effects/lighting design was absolutely the finest in the world.

I've seen U2 twice in concert previously (Elevation Tour: Lexington, KY in 2002, and Vertigo Tour: Anaheim, CA in 2005) and both times I spent well over $125 for my seat. This experience of the worlds first 3D concert film does not replace the live concert experience, but definitely provides an incredibly moving and entertaining experience for only $15!

I highly recommend checking out U23D.
Do it... DO IT!
