As part of an ongoing project to release selected tracks from previous projects including theatrical productions, short films (et al) as downloadable mp3s, Dead Tone Music is now available online at cdbaby.com, amazon ***and the now the matthewdewey.com store!
Inspired by the sound of a telephone dead tone and an imagining of what is on the other end of the line, “Dead Tone Music” is an electronic work which has a firm harmonic/melodic influence pulled from the classical symphonic cannon. The work was originally composed by Matthew Dewey for a street theatre piece for the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2008.

Matthew’s sound design for the Tasmania Theatre Company’s production of Don’t Think Twice has been described as: “An amazing soundtrack” in a review of the production written by Luke Preer, for HBA – Hobart Reviews, “Don’t Think Twice – Tasmanian Theatre Co.“, June 2010
The show featured two plays by Australian Playwrights:
Andrew Corder Thinks Twice by Finegan Kruckemeyer with
Partly It’s About Love… Partly It’s About Massacre by Fiona Sprott
Check out the Australian Stage review here.
Check out the Write Response review here.
One man, one woman, two superbly written one-act plays and a doubly delightful trip to the theatre.
Kruckemeyer’s Andrew Corder Thinks Twice is a blistering fusion of the near and far, the local and global, the hysterical and the horrific. “This man is Andrew Corder. He doesn’t own a car. He speaks some words of a second language, and hates the fact he used to know a lot more. He has deceptively strong arms, and walks to work the same way every day. Andrew Corder does not think about Palestine every day. This morning, however, he does.”
Sprott’s Partly It’s About Love… Partly It’s About Massacre is a darkly comic foray into the world of Love and Loss (of the self). “Jezebel has arrived at the altar at last but her dress is stained with blood and the groom is in hospital. So what happened to the Good Old Days when she never had to negotiate the division of space in the bed, when nobody ever passed wind on the couch while she was eating dinner, when she never had to turn down the maintenance man for a quickie? Eternal togetherness is feeling a bit too close for comfort!”

The Dance of Light is an electronically treated solo piano work originally composed for a street theatre piece for the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2008. On a busy city street, an acrobat constructs a tall ladder that extends from a manhole metres into the air, and dances in the light.
The work was written as an abstract reaction to the concept of light dancing, as city lights do on wet city streets, or as auroras do, lighting up the sky.
