New to Fog Chaser? Start here.
Welcome to the Fog Chaser newsletter (est. 2021)
The premise of the newsletter is simple — once every month I email you an original instrumental song, paired with an accompanying visual of my own that inspired or complements the song (a photo, 35mm or digital, or a video).
That’s it. Since 2021, this simple format has reached hundreds of thousands of listeners worldwide.
My hope is that these monthly missives give you something that helps you pause for a moment. Fog Chaser is music for woods-wandering, couch-sitting, yoga-posing, computer-staring, dog-walking, art-making folks who are seeking a peaceful soundtrack amidst turbulent times. Not quite ambient, not quite classical or neoclassical. This music lives somewhere in between.
It sounds like this:

thank you.
My name is Matt, and I’m the composer/musician behind Fog Chaser. My subscribers get every song I write first, well before I release anything anywhere else (some songs never get released beyond the newsletter). Thanks for being here.
What started in 2021 as an email to friends with my latest musical dabblings now reaches hundreds of thousands of people worldwide through my film scores, media collaborations, and this monthly newsletter.
With 1M+ streams on Spotify alone, Fog Chaser has become a core part of my musical identity, and I’m so grateful to get the chance to write music and share it with you all here first. And while this project has grown beyond my wildest imagination over the years, it all started here, as a newsletter.
My hope is that these songs can accompany you however you need them, whether that’s to inspire or to soothe. I hope my songs can bring you some focus and calm and comfort in an increasingly chaotic world.
For more on why I started the newsletter and what I’m trying achieve, visit my ‘About’ page. To get a new song delivered to your inbox every month, subscribe below.
New songs are free for everyone. Paid subscribers get monthly curated playlists, full archive access to 50+ songs, exclusive bonus content, unlimited downloads, and my sincere gratitude for your support—thank you!
Note: I’m not sure if I need to say this, but for what it’s worth, I never use AI to create my music or for anything related to my music or this newsletter. Everything here—every song, every image, every sentence—is human-made.
