The Long Wait is a musical expression of living in the complicated, fast-paced, yet always interesting metropolis that is New York City. The album’s title has a double meaning in that it was written during the long period of isolation we collectively experienced together in 2020, but also became the title track due to the extended length of time it took to release this music. "Liebish" is a tribute to the incredible access we have in this city to some of the greatest musical minds of the art form. In this case, the great David Liebman, who opened my world up to endless musical possibilities. "Night Scenes" and "Afterwards" are musical reflections of how overcoming mental and physical struggles create a sense of relief and condifence in life. "Dealin'', "In the Heights", and "A Wee Bit of Fun" all attempt to paint a picture of day to day life in a city which seems to be both energetic and chaotic, but also hopeful and inspiring. "A Chance Encounter" and "Feng-I", dedicated to my wife Emily(Feng-I), provide a softer side to the album and express the wonderful encounters that are possible throughout this city and in life. Finally, "Going Back, Moving Forward" is a rumination that sometimes one has to deal with the past before moving forward to the next experience. "I would like to thank everyone involved in helping me complete this project and everyone who supported me along the way. It has been a great pleasure for me to create this music, and I sincerely hope that you enjoy it now that the long wait is over..." - Matthew McDonald

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
