Blending rock and electronica into a compelling exploration of self-determination and modern identity, “All Parts of Your Own Play” by Matt Siran is a bold evolution to this musical style.
Diving into the intricacies of personal agency and existential introspection, the song departs from the punk rock roots of his earlier work, such as his debut single, “Calm These Waters”. In “All Parts of Your Own Play,” Matt replaces the prominent guitar lines with a prominent organ that gives the song a distinctive and lush texture. The shift is complemented by the nuanced use of synths which add a light atmosphere into the sound’s mix.
Matt’s choice to feature saxophones continues his tradition of incorporating rich, brass elements into his music, but the overall soundscape is noticeably different. The organ’s resonant tones and the ethereal synth layers create a sound that is both introspective and expansive and enhances the song’s thematic focus on the multifaceted nature of personal experience.
The lyrics reflect a deep engagement with the idea of navigating various roles and stages in life. This exploration is matched by the song’s innovative arrangement, making “All Parts of Your Own Play” a striking example of Matt’s ability to evolve while maintaining his unique voice.
