about

Matus- Composer, band leader for Paranoise and Mawwal, guitarist, specializing in progressive world fusion, jazz, rock and improvisatory music. Inventor of the LAOUTAR, a unique mandocello/Greek lute hybrid, for which he has composed and performed a growing repertoire.
Has worked with musicians Don Cherry, Hassan Hakmoun, Anthony Jackson, Dave Weckl, Percy Jones, Alicia Svigals, James Montgomery, Grace Kelly, Soft Machine’s Hugh Hopper, and Shane Shanahan of the Silk Road Project.
"Matus’ use of the electric laoutar, a lute and mandocello hybrid, is positively entrancing"
— Bill Milkowski, contributor to DownBeat

Barshay -From his work with Herbie Hancock in the 2000s, to tours and recordings with Chick Corea, Esperanza Spalding, The Klezmatics, Fred Hersch, and Kenny Werner, he's been dubbed "a major rhythm voice on the rise" by Downbeat magazine, and The Guardian (UK) praises "a major innovator who also knows how to have fun."
"A fascinating musician." -Chick Corea, "A player to watch." “He fervently explores the many instruments and rhythms at his beck and call.”
Scott Albin - JazzTimes.
