Many riffs were catalogued and saved from 2011 to 2016 and eventually comprised most of the Cycle of Infinity's musical foundation. As these riffs grew into phrases that could be parts of songs, Matt began writing a science-fiction short story of a hero who gets sucked through time millions of years into the future to save beings from an evil presence that have been malevolently assimilating the entire universe. Once the story was complete, Matt matched the various riffs with the parts of the story that felt right, eventually brought together in a concept album that would be in production off and on for 6 years. Throughout all this time he was able to better his craft as a musician and a producer. What you hear in Cycle of Infinity is the evolution of Matt's music that will continue to blossom as more music is created.
