Victoria\u2019s Matt Franceschini has a few musical notches in his belt. While working with local bands Domesticated and Rosacea, the winds of inspiration directed the 17-year-old to create his own works into the instrumental Perspectives <\/em>album. Franceschini says he draws inspiration from artists such as Tiny Moving Parts and he focuses on how happiness is drawn from one\u2019s perception of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wrote all of the songs with an idea of looking at a different perspective of life,\u201d he says. \u201cI like to think that altering your perspective can have a major effect on your happiness levels. Each song tries to invoke a different mood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though he describes his music as \u201catmospheric alternative rock,\u201d Franceschini is headed in a more jazz-based direction; he plans to enrol in Vancouver\u2019s Capilano University for Jazz Studies in the fall. He says the subjectivity with more instrumental jazz allows a greater audience to listen to the music.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technicality and the musicianship was what initially drew me to jazz but I think it\u2019s really cool to try and speak with your instruments,\u201d he says. \u201cI think you get a whole different perspective on what you\u2019re feeling and what the song\u2019s about because there are no lyrics that instantly set the tone. [Instrumental] music is just open to your interpretation. Everyone could hear a song and feel completely different things, and I think that\u2019s really awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Franceschini will soon be touring the island along with Port Alberni\u2019s Forever Frost, who he considers friends and comrades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked on shows before with me in previous bands, so we were already good friends,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve toured the island before and, honestly, it\u2019s so much fun to do the drive. We live in such a beautiful place; to see all the trees as we\u2019re driving along is awesome. It\u2019s also really great to play in places that you don\u2019t normally play; I\u2019ve played a lot of Victoria shows but I\u2019ve actually never played in Duncan or Tofino, so it\u2019ll be really fun to see new faces and play my music for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
