Matteo Myderwyk

As a classical pianist trained at the conservatory, Matteo Myderwyk abandoned the music of his heroes Bach and Messiaen to develop his own musical vocabulary. First of all, he decided to throw away the rulebook of classical music altogether, ending up enthralled in the wonderful world of free-jazz. Making music without plan or pre-written composition gave a new creative impulse that pushed the musician’s craft to exciting new directions. Matteo learned his most important lesson in this experimental period; music isn't something written on paper, but music materializes in the moment. Matteo’s first records are conceived almost exclusively on the piano, but his music is constantly evolving and often he breaks with the 'puristic' approach by adding further instruments and sounds. Also on stage he’s often appearing with an arsenal of synthesizers, drum machines and organs. Matteo Myderwyk feels at home in any type of setting: at the festivals and in the clubs, the concert halls and the churches.
