“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)
“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)
More Reviews:
“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
