Scarberian Khatru
Open Space
Episode 8: Open Space. This atmospheric Pink Floyd influenced composition was written and recorded at home in 1981, and re-recorded for the David Barrett Trio Broadcaster album in 2022. Produced by Terry Brown and orchestrated by Scott Matthews - it caught the attention of Canadian filmmaker Kurtis Watson and was used for the closing credits in his award winning documentary “My Dad’s Tapes.”

Battle of Tribulation
Episode 4: Battle of Tribulation. This was our first progressive rock epic written by Scott and myself in Scarborough around 1979. We performed it at our first concert in 1980, and over 40 years later we tracked a studio version that appears on the David Barrett Trio vinyl “Broadcaster” produced by Terry Brown. It sounded like something that could have been on Caress of Steel!
