Matthew Clise (Mance Vader)

Thanks for stopping by! Here you will find videos related to all things I find interesting, which include but aren't limited to: replica movie/tv props, progressive rock (particularly the 70s variety), DIY projects, music gear, and more. Most if not all of the music you hear the videos was written and performed by yours truly.

I do take commissions, so if you're interested in some music for your channel, hit me up and we can discuss the details.

I teach private music lessons and work at a local mom and pop music store during the day and play drums (and sometimes keys or guitar) in various bands in the evenings. I have a degree in music theory and composition, and I have studied drum set extensively. To a lesser extent, I've studied classical piano. My guitar playing is mostly self-taught, but I have taken a few private lessons here and there.

This channel is ever evolving, so please let me know what you like so I know where to focus my energy!

Bis spaeter,
Matt C.
