Matthew’s Autobiography

I always remember when I was three years old. At that time, I couldn’t pronounce the word Three, so I could only say Free. So my sister would laugh at me by asking me how old I was, and I would just say: I am free---I am free, I am free.

At that time, I had an orange kitten named Sunshine. That's a good name, because the warm summer sun flows in from the bedroom window and shines on my bed, where the sun always lies. Every day, Sunshine doesn’t sleep in anyone else’s bed, but only in my bed.

One day, when I ran outside to play, I saw a strange sight. It was the sun lying on the street. But something was wrong, because the sun was lying flat on the sidewalk. I guess I was too young to understand that Sunshine was hit by a car and couldn't live again. But to me, the sun just lies flat and needs my help. So I ran home and asked my parents to bring out the bicycle pump. It seems easy... I just need to fill the cat with air and everything will be fine.

My parents gently explained the truth to me. That was the first time I ever lost a friend. Maybe it's because at that age I couldn't really grieve for the loss. The sadness of losing the sunshine spreads in my later years, like discarded flowers drifting on the sea.

--Childhood Memories--

I consider myself lucky to have lived in many different houses during my childhood. Each memory happened at a different time, and I know how old I was then because each house represents each memory.

Many of my memories come from a house I lived in before I was two years old. I can recall so many things in this house. I remember the crib with railings I slept in... and the howling storm outside my bed, which frightened me inexplicably... I also remember believing that as long as I walked down the street in the middle of the night, I would see ghosts. Some people say they can't remember being that young. But I remember very clearly that the child was very close to my heart, like a distant friend.

--Adventures in the Mountains--

My mother has always been a lover of nature. She often takes my nephew and me to climb mountains, climbing about 15 to 20 kilometers a day, and then return to the mountains and forests to camp. It's always fun and full of beauty.

When I was about six years old, one morning early in the morning, we went hiking through the mountains and forests.

The air was fresh and moist, as if we had just woken up from the night air, and the sun had just begun to shine on the tops of the trees and the tops of the mountains surrounding us. As we passed through the forest, we came to a small clear meadow. The grass grew tall and green. Everyone suddenly stopped, as if frightened by something huge. Then I saw it too. In the morning light on the grass, a huge stag stood, with the horns on its head raised majestically, and its breath was like smoke in the morning mist. Such a sense of grandeur and amazement arose in everyone's heart, as if we were looking straight into the face of God. I felt like I was face to face with God. Then it suddenly ran into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

This moment only lasted a few seconds, but it is etched in my memory forever. I am really grateful that the people around me can see nature like this. As I got older, I couldn't understand why anyone would shoot animals as a sport or as a challenge. I still see God in animals...I still see children, needing safety and protection.

--Longing for the Yukon--

When I was five years old, my father decided to leave the busy city life of San Diego and move to Canada's "Yukon" territory. He and his friends found a house in the wild that was for sale and decided to buy it and live there. This was the beginning of my immigrant lifestyle, which continues to this day.

2 Matthew Lane

When I was seven years old, my mother and I traveled to the Yukon for the first time to spend the summer with my father, who lived there. I remember we flew to Seattle and then took a four-day boat ride through the Alaska Range, up the rugged Pacific coast full of whales and bald eagles, and finally arrived at a small seaside village called Hanse, in Alaska. My father met us there. Then we drove 250 kilometers through the mountains and into the Yukon, on a road full of dust. There were no towns and no human habitation there. We finally arrived at the forest cabin, a paradise on earth.

This experience changed my view of what true wilderness nature is. When I went back to school in California, I really saw how humans treat the earth. There's no place like the Yukon in California.

After this summer, my heart will always stay in Yukon. Since San Diego Airport is right in the middle of the city, I often look up at the blue light of the plane at night. It is so beautiful and calling my name... My heart aches and I just want to fly north.

At such a young age, I learned what true and complete love is...that is love for the earth. The power of the wilderness and everything hidden in it. The earth is still calling me home.

--The First Piano---

When I was a little kid, music and people who loved music were always around me. There were people who played many different instruments, and they would gather at my house and play music late into the night. I love it so much! So I started playing. This is natural. At eight years old I had a harmonium to play, and soon after that I started playing guitar.

We live in a very small house. Outside, the paint on the walls won't come off, and the house looks very old. Inside, though, my mom turned the old house into a warm home, like the kind of musical family you'd find in Austria or Germany. We were not rich, but my mother always made sure we knew we were loved and cared for.

One day when I was eleven years old, my mother brought home a piano. It was a big, old antique piano. Some friends helped us get the piano into the house...it was very heavy. It has a very beautiful sound, so rich, deep and warm. I immediately started playing this piano and felt like a duck to water.

My mother started giving me piano lessons, thinking it might help me. Oh, how I disliked these lessons! The lessons I had to learn sounded simple and stupid. It had none of the passion or longing of the music I heard at home. So after a month, I asked my mother if I could stop taking medicine. She said, "Okay."

Every day after that, I played the piano just for the joy of it. Soon, the piano became my best friend, the only one who knew me best.

I can tell it my deepest feelings, and it turns them into beautiful music. I think the piano saved my life. Or at least, it gives me a good reason to live.

--Tattooed Tree--

One day when I was eight years old, I came to a park in San Diego. There are quite tall trees in the park, suitable for climbing. I found the tallest tree to climb. I noticed that there were a lot of people's initials carved into the bark of the tree. As I climbed higher and higher, these carvings became fewer and fewer, but they remained the same. How heartbreaking and disrespectful this is to this beautiful tree.

Finally, I climbed to the highest point I could reach...and still, there was still inscription. In this moment, I made a promise to the tree that I would never do this, that I would honor what happened to the tree, and I swore that I would never carve into the tree. I still remember that promise...and that tree.

--Comparable--

When I was 14 years old, when I was still in school in San Diego, my family brought me a small German Shepherd. We call her Kobe. However she soon became ill and we thought she was going to die. We took her up to the mountains for a few days because it was a beautiful place for a pet to die, full of breath and life. But being in the forest seemed to bring life energy to her, and she suddenly recovered, running around in the grass and sniffing around.

When she grew up, she became a part of our family. She is a close friend of mine and we go everywhere together. She is such a sweet and loving friend. However, one day, she wandered away from me, wandering too far away... I still don't know why. By the time I found out where she was, it was too late. She ran onto a busy street and was hit by a car. Kobe was still able to walk, but she was severely injured. I can tell.

The car that hit her stopped, so I picked up Kobe and asked them to drive me down the street to the nearest veterinary hospital. As we waited inside for the doctor, Kobe kept trying to stand up and walk. But she would bump into things when she walked, so I discovered she was blind. Yet there she was, fighting desperately for her life, just like she had been fighting to stay alive in the mountains when she was a puppy.

Finally the doctors came and we took her into the room, but when they tried to save her she slipped away. I hold her in my hands and I can feel her strength draining away as her soul slips away. I was at my wits' end...no way to save her, no way to save her...my best friend.

Matthew Lane "Wolf"

It may be difficult for you to imagine, but in fact Any animal can sing. As long as you get into their hearts and listen to their heartbeats, you can feel that they have the same rich emotions and touching stories as humans!

This is based on [music] and [ A touching epic written by "Humanity". The poignant and tragic Scottish music style performs a musical festival of wolves. Thirty music workers, led by Matthew Lane, used music and humanity to record the stories of wolves that were massacred by people in the wilderness. In 1992, the local government of Yukon, Canada, implemented a plan called "Reindeer Reinforcement", which used a disguised culling of wolves to allow the rapid reproduction of reindeer that had been decimated due to excessive hunting by humans. This logic of thinking that the cause is caused by humans but blamed on wolves inspired Matthew Lane's motivation for writing "Wolf". It took two years to hit people's hearts with the most direct emotions and the most painful appeal.

The faint sound of the stream opens the prelude with the piano as the main instrument; the gorgeous Scottish music style records the sadness of Flying Squirrel Creek and Shetland Island; "Bresenon" lyrically sings about the helplessness and reluctance of parting; sadness The saxophone and the deep French horn lead us into the wilderness of reality; this is an album that will make you completely moved by the composer!

The Yukon River Basin in the United States

The wolves witnessed the death of their companions at the hands of human guns

There was no fear in their eyes, only a calmness

That is the arrogance of the wilderness and the natural wildness that goes with the wind.

You can still run in the wilderness and look back before the blood is exhausted

If you cannot lick the blood of your companions, you will carry its soul around the world

This is Wolf...

Speaking of the wolf hunting plan, we may think of Jack London's famous novels "Love of Life", "Snow Tiger" and "Call of the Wild". I was once fascinated by the novel - wolves are the cruel gods of death that follow you everywhere, casting a terrible shadow on the lonely traveler's journey. In a recording studio in San Diego, MATTHEW LIEN and 29 other musicians spent two years completing this album, which combines Celtic folk, classical music, light jazz, and rock. The strong rhythm is the figure of wolves running in the wilderness; the sound of streams, rain, and wind bring out the openness, freedom, and the ups and downs of life in nature; while the flute, desi macho, cymbals, cello, and French horn and other musical instruments, which give the music a vivid charm. The wolves, unrestrained in the wind, are enthusiastic and unfettered.

This is a true masterpiece of Matthew and eight North American artists asking for the reindeer’s life.

What I saw and heard during the 1,250-kilometer journey, as well as the actual recorded sounds of streams, birdsong, and natural sounds of wind and rain - transformed into notes full of energy, guiding people to use the most equal vision, Participate in a reindeer’s dance of life. The sucking deer that has lost its mother but is crying for food, the naughty fawn lost in the wilderness, the dying doe by the stream, the physical migration of hundreds of deer, and the ignorance that they are not aware that they are about to lose their habitat. Joys and sorrows, separation and harmony, generation after generation, cannot resist the curse of the human oil industry.

The roof of the earth - the North Pole

This is the roof of the prosperous world and the starting point of life

The sun never sets when you stand on the roof of the earth. Icebergs stand in the Arctic sea

Time seems to stand still as tens of thousands of reindeer move silently and groups of whales float and sink on the water

In 1992, Canadian musician Matthew Lien and land photographer Ken Madsen had just completed a successful performance about the combination of Arctic ecological photography and music. Ten years later, Matthew once again went deep into the "1002 Land" known as the "Calving Ground". On the shores of the Arctic Sea and protected by the mountains, Matthew gained the blessing of nature. He began to create "The Arctic Refuge" (The Arctic Refuge) ecological music album. He vowed to use the power of music to infuse the Arctic heart into his blood and transmit it to every corner of the earth. Because the Arctic Reserve has always been Matthew's greatest comfort. This mood is also reflected in the Arctic album and different music styles in the past. In addition to the well-known: Matthew Lane's Gult music, this time there are more diverse aspects such as blues soul, western country and European light rock. .

In order to ensure the integrity of the music, Matthew spent high production costs and invited the top musicians in North America: David Sinclair, Ed Henderson, Tom Keenlyside and others to record together. The dozens of natural sound effects in the album, such as whales, dolphins, reindeer, loons, etc., are all precious wild sounds recorded by Matthew during his 10 years in the Arctic six times. The album Arctic is a different experience for fans who are familiar with Matthew Lane's music.
