Major Arts Sponsor

Have you considered becoming a Patron of the Arts and sponsoring the Presence project? This album has taken a year to plan and execute, and has involved other musicians whom I would dearly love to further reward for their services. Rather than scraping by and having preorders cover the merchandise and other unavoidable costs, this would allow me to be generous, and also to set us up for the next project so it doesn’t need to be self-funded up front. Your name would be emblazened on the album artwork on CD and Vinyl, and on the digital artwork for the download. Thank yous would be heralded by trumpets on social media, newsletters and any other avenue I can think of (unless you are a secret giver and would prefer to be anonymous). Either way, you would have access to any and all of the above rewards, and my undying respect and friendship.

Presence Musician Reviews

Dave Bainbridge

Matt is a really nice guitarist, with a lovely sound and feel, who makes music that is filled with passion and depth. 'Presence' is a striking album.

Dave Brons

Matt is a great guitar player and a fantastic human being, and this comes across in his music. I loved his track Deep calls to Deep. I found the music uplifting - just like the man himself!

Steve Pledger

As a lover of accomplished and atmospheric guitar, ‘Deep Calls To Deep’ is a gift from the gods! The musicianship across the board is sublime; a genuinely moving musical experience.

A musically adventurous album, packed with Matt's typically evocative guitar playing, it pushed me out of my comfort zone! [Photo: Matt Negus]

Presence Customer Reviews

Aggy F

You can't listen to it in the background... Each song wakes you up and DEMANDS to be listened to! My goodness, some of the guitar playing left me breathless.

Nicholas K

Restrained elegance with punches of fury sweep you away to the musical world Matt created

Ralph B

I've been enjoying this album immensely. I often compare your guitar playing to Dave Gilmour, but I can also hear a touch of Robert Fripp. The tougher-sounding tracks like 'Reign' & 'Perforate' have echoes of 'Red'-era King Crimson about them.

Edward E

I've just listened to the entire thing with a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits. You've excelled yourself, Matt. Brilliant work! It didn't need chocolate biscuits...

Chris T

Presence transported me over mountains and valleys, over desert dunes and ocean waves, over lakes, rivers and through forest glades, to outer space and other worlds. Bravo! It’s stunning.

Karen F

I feel like I’m in a lighthouse watching and listening to large rolling waves crash against the rocks, but I’m inside safe and sound.

Cameron Bird

Nice work! Lots of feels and a stack of emotion poured into this piece.

John Reed

For lovers of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen etc., Matt's absolutely excelled himself.
