Saratoga Springs native has done sound engineering for films, TV; he’s about to make directorial debut

Growing up in Saratoga Springs, Matt Rocker saw everything as an instrument.
When recording a demo tape as a kid, he’d play some chords on his acoustic guitar, loop drum fills off his Casio keyboard’s drum machine, record it all with a four-track recorder and mix it down with an old-school reel-to-reel tape deck. He did what he could to make music, and oftentimes that meant getting a little innovative.

KING Meeting Monday night, the City Council approved a rezoning request that will allow a new apartment complex to be built on Newsome Road.
The request, from the BTR Communities Group of Lewisville, was for rezoning a 7.99 acre site to a conditional use permit for multi-family residential units.
Bill Scantland, representing the developers, said the project would be very similar to the Conrad Corners apartments, on Conrad Corners Circle behind AutoZone and the King Kitchen, which was approved by the Board about five years ago.
This new Newsome Road complex may be slightly larger, he said, as the Conrad location has 60 units and this one has been approved for 80. The apartments will be one-, two-, and three-bedrooms, in five two-story buildings. Rent for these apartments will be on a scale based on income.
