Matt Beswick is the tall, tired, quiet, soon-to-be-ex-undergraduate who took up singing in 1989 and piano between 1993 and 2000, and then unexpectedly fell out with performing during his time at secondary school. Funny thing, that. Playing the eternal game of catchup, he crept quietly into the filk music scene in 2007. Word on the street was that he did indeed had a voice, with alleged sightings at Harmuni 3 in summer 2007 and at 2t0nic in Feb 2008. A rumour surfaced that he could play piano, and this was confirmed at aXXIdental in the cold, snowy Feb of 2009. And it's all downhill from there...
Soir-Lilac Blackwing, or more simply Soir, is an incorrigible fuzzy white dragon who has written an eternity's worth of fabulous songs and placed them within a secret book, which he never lets anyone read because he doesn't know if anyone - not excluding himself - is quite ready for them yet. Sometimes, he slips up and leaves this book open for perusal, though. In these desperate few moments, a certain tall, tired, quiet, soon-to-be-ex-undergraduate sneaks a glance...
... and sometimes, music results. (The rest of the time, things aren't very interesting, and it is not this author's place to bore you with minutiae.)
