Live via UStream, January 2010, part 1

Matthew Ebel — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:36:27 +0000

With the advent of a new year, it’s time to change the setup. Since I’m going to be playing a lot more live-in-person shows this year, I’m working on a setup that’s more organic. With just my piano and voice, I was able to rock out for two solid hours for an amazing number of UStream viewers.

Since the show was so long, this one will be uploaded in two parts. This month you’ll get the first half, an hour chock full of new tunes and old favorites!

I’m sure plenty of you saw this coming…

Fans of The Orange Box from Valve Software have probably become addicted to the online game Team Fortress 2, just like Matthew has. Now those addicts have a chance to win a full year of the All-Access Pass (a $99 value) and show off their movie-making skills.

Make an in-game music video (aka Machinema) using “I Blame The Spy” and you could win a full year of free music from Matthew Ebel dot net.

Read on for more details…
