This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
About
Matt Menovcik’s latest musical project, Vinca Minor, began in the summer of 2009. Originally a Detroit native, Matt now resides in Seattle. He has been releasing his music on various labels including Italy's Ghost Records, Second Shimmy, and Fish The Cat Records. His forthcoming release, Isolation, is somewhat of a departure, focusing less on the more traditional structured approach, instead highlighting the layers of ambience that were only briefly touched upon in past releases. Menovcik has also contributed a track to the Daniel Johnston tribute record, I Killed The Monster, with his project with Kramer, ROPE, INC., which also featured Sufjan Stevens, Mike Watt, and Dot Allison among others. He has performed around the US and abroad with his band Saeta, where he is the vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, and the now defunct Ms. Led, where he was the former bass player. Menovcik has additionally been involved in film scoring for the past several years, scoring a full-length, I Awake, as well as several shorts. He recently finished the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Summer Intensive Program this past summer. He has also had Saeta's song, You Fade, used in the hit Italian film Giorni e Nuvole. He is currently working on a new ROPE, INC. album, preparing to write a dance piece with dancer Deborah Birrane, and gearing up for future travels and projects in the coming months.
