And Then There Were The Sounds Of Birds (2023)

“ephemeral and beautifully fragile” – Mikkel Schou in Passive Aggressive (DK)

 

Unburying, From Liminals, Emerging (2024)

“Matt Choboter, who can just as easily be found in a jazz concert as in a contemporary music setting with this music, is obviously a voice that cannot be compared to anyone else’s.” …. “Matt Choboter takes us to places no one has been before.” – Tor Hammerø in Nettavisen

“The enigmatic music sounds like nothing you may have listened to before but feels so familiar, vivid and stimulating.” – Eyal Hareuveni in Salt peanuts.

 

Postcards of Nostalgia (2023)

“Postcards Of Nostalgia simultaneously expands and blows the mind” – London News (Frank Graham)

“Best on Bandcamp” for July 2023 (David Sumner)

“The presence of a thick fog is no less riveting than the sudden appearance of shapes within its midst. The splashes of melody and washes of harmony swirl back and forth, at times heavy and impenetrable, other times soft and ethereal, but always in motion and perpetually transforming”. (Dave Sumner)

Sleep Inertia (2022)

“A realized musical dream” – MusicWorks (Ken Waxman, CA)

“Best Jazz on AllAboutJazz” for 2022 by Doug Colette

“Best on BandCamp” for July 2022 by Dave Sumner

 

Hypnagogia (2021)

“Very Exciting (…) Reminiscent of very original, oppressive film music”
– Ken Vos, Jazzism

“The album has a dreamlike aura, with a development of varied tensions and harmonic relationship that at times are numbing and suffocating. Winds, keyboards and percussion working as intertwined ensemble pairs deliver densely expressive music.”
– Fabricio Vieira, FreeFormJazz

“This is an exciting record, which takes both classical music and jazz into other and new areas.”
– Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts

 

 

Spillimacheen (2018)

“post-jazz of a distinctly personalized kind” (Ron Schepper of Textura)

“Hearing Matt is, first and foremost, an emotional experience. Knowledge, virtuosity and sound are at the service of a vision, and Matt’s fearlessness and dedication grab you and never let go. He displays the same intensity in his highly personal compositions, which always tell a story and stay on the listener’s mind for a long time.” (Jean-Michel Pilc, Pianist)
