Spillimacheen by Matt Choboter Band

“…makes for exciting listening when the paths the music takes are unpredictable, as the pianist and his partners are charting new routes with fresh discoveries emerging as they do so…post-jazz of a distinctly personalized kind.” – Ron Schepper, Textura

Concepts of recession and growth, varied dialogue between spontaneity and intricate composition, time experienced on both the micro and macro levels and polyrhythmic interactions with the goal of highly subjective perceptual flexibility. Informed by Carnatic rhythmic ideas, of how time and space can be experienced with great accuracy by way of interacting large-scale and small-scale frameworks.

Release Label: Greg Osby's Inner Circle Music (INCM)

Canadian composer and pianist, Matt's music paints subliminal sounds between the cracks of avant-jazz and contemporary classical. Informed by non-western cultures and eclectic spiritualism, he embraces liminal psychology and dream work; a rather sentient, animistic existential orientation; and a musical practice which absorbs particular features of South Indian classical and Balinese Gamelan.
