For Mathias Buckinx, the path of music has always been one of exploration and deep personal resonance. While the world first got a taste of his musical inclinations as Mathias Kane with the notable single “Seventh Heaven” in 1999, and later with the group, Inside Out, it was clear that these were but initial forays into a vast musical landscape.
Music, for Mathias, is akin to journaling, a deeply intimate process. It’s not just about creating melodies and rhythms but capturing life’s myriad emotions and experiences. From songs conceived in the spirited heart of a 16-year-old to those reflecting more recent introspections, his journey has been one of constant evolution.
Over the years, Mathias has had the honor of collaborating with several esteemed artists, including Luc Van Acker, Mark Vanhie, Jo Bogaert, Bart Kaell, and Jo Lemaire, each contributing in unique ways to his artistic growth.
With a predilection for singer-songwriter styles, Mathias’s compositions often spotlight the emotive strains of pianos and acoustic guitars. His early association with Virgin Music laid a foundation, but it’s the culmination of life’s rich tapestry of experiences that truly defined the soul of “Eastwood Lane”.
In this newest venture, Mathias hopes to reach listeners who immerse themselves in the essence of music, resonating with its narratives and finding reflections of their own stories within. It’s a tribute to those few, that discerning listener, who feels every word and note, turning each performance into an intimate dialogue.
As Mathias Buckinx takes a renewed stride with Eastwood Lane, his music remains a testament to life’s complexities, beauties, and the ever-present hope that underscores it all.
As the dawn of 2024 approaches, so does the much-anticipated debut album from Eastwood Lane, the artistic moniker of Mathias Buckinx. Titled “The Days That Never Came”, this collection marks a significant milestone in Mathias’s musical journey, promising a depth of emotion and introspection.
While Mathias has previously graced the music scene with memorable pieces, this album stands as a testament to his evolution and growth as an artist. It is more than just a reflection on the passage of time or missed moments. It’s a soulful exploration of waiting, seeking chances, and the eventual realization that opportunities are often born from our own actions rather than sheer fate.
The poignant title track captures the essence of time’s elusive nature, the sensation of awaiting destiny’s call, only to understand the power each individual holds in shaping their own narrative. It’s a resonating message for all dreamers, artists, and individuals who’ve felt the sands of time slipping away and the urgency to embrace the present.
Set for an early 2024 release, “The Days That Never Came” is not just an array of songs, but a series of experiences. It signifies the commencement of the Eastwood Lane era, offering listeners a glimpse into the heart and soul of Mathias Buckinx.
Join us in celebrating this debut, a musical journey brimming with passion, introspection, and the promise of many stories untold.
