This is an original tune captured live at Gypsy Sally's in Washington DC on October 8th, 2013 at a show where I shared the billing with my talented looping bredren William Walter. Special thanks to Scott Nurmi at Mojo Factory Productions (mojofactoryproductions.com) for the excellent video work! Don't miss the nasty flute solo that beings just after 6:40.

This is an original rendition of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" captured live at Gypsy Sally's in Washington DC on October 8th, 2013 at a show where I shared the billing with my talented, looping, bredren William Walter. Special thanks to Scott Nurmi at Mojo Factory Productions (mojofactoryproductions.com) for the excellent video work! It's over seven minutes long, but if you stick around for the ride you'll catch a tasty flute solo and a funky looper outro featuring some heady wah guitar.

This is my little video Christmas card to everyone. Happy Holidays!

This is a new song I wrote and produced in the spring of 2012. It's a love song... written for no one in particular... a tribute to the Muses if anything. Sorry for the jumpy, lo-fi video. I just wanted a little something to entertain your left brain while your right brain digs the song. I performed all instruments and voices, and engineered it myself. I hope you enjoy!

I was a founding member of the Archives and wrote two songs on our first album. I'm playing guitar in this video. Performing the song Nice Things by Chris Puma at the Carter Barron Amphitheater.

Here's a little slideshow I put together for an original song that I produced in my home studio. I played all the instruments except for the drumset, played by Leslie "Blackseed" James, and the organ, played by Darryl "D-Trane" Burke. Most of the images were found on Google Image Search.

Live at the DC Arts Center Theater, performing "Love WIll Turn You Around" by Kenny Rogers. All sounds created live using a looper pedal. No pre-recorded tracks or samples were used. Thanks to Mojo Factory Productions for the beautiful Video.

This is an older song of mine with new production, featuring Jeff Franca Of Thievery Corporation on drums. The song is set to a slideshow of original wildlife photography, apart from two photos taken by friends (the pic of me with my teacher, and a picture of a green plant up close in front of a lake). I arranged and played all instruments and voices except for the drumset. Written and produced by Mateo Monk (www.howlofthewhitewolf.com) Copyright 2017 Mateo Monk Music. All rights reserved.

A new, all-original, poetry reading series featuring insightful, spoken reflections on the theme of spiritual liberation. Some call it the Spirit, some call it the Atman. It is not my job to label it, only to express it. I’m like a man who one day awoke to discover his hands on fire. Everything he reached for to smother the flame, only ignited upon touch. Before he even got to his feet, he had set his world on fire. To speak is not my will, but my service.

Roughdraft of a new song born from a breakup poem. I built the loop for this one before hitting record; I just wanted to showcase the lyrics and basic structure of the song. I'm sure it will develop more in time. Enjoy! Music and Lyrics Copyright Mateo Monk Music 2017

In December of 2017, I attended a three week meditation retreat with my teacher of 18 years, Amma Sri Karunamayi, at her peninsula ashram in Andhra Pradesh, India. After the retreat I spent twelve days at the holy mountain of Arunachala and the ashram of the late Ramana Maharshi. The trip was a deeply tranformative and blessed experience for which I am very grateful. This video is a slideshow of some of my experiences. I took most of the photos but borrowed a couple of the portraits of me from friends. The music in the video is Atma Samarpanam by Dr. Nithyasree Mahadevan.

Original song, State Of Affairs, performed live at the Moonshadow Cafe in Accident MD on 8/19/16. Copyright 2016 Mateo Monk Music
