Mathew Jonson

Vancouver鈥檚 Mathew Jonson has built a reputation over the past few years through his association with the Modern Deep Left Quartet, Cobblestone Jazz and by various productions under his own name.

His forays into jazz, house, fusion, techno and other electronic based music reference a youth filled with musical creativity. Formally trained in percussion from a young age, Mat also had stints performing clarinet and classical piano.

A visit to the 1986 Vancouver World Fair catapulted the youngster into a world of compu-based musical exploration. The focus of this event was the transmission information in the digital age, a catalytic theme for the young Jonson and his already burgeoning sense for production.

During his late teens and early twenties, Mat could be found performing regularly in Vancouver and Victoria. An increasingly personal interest in live performance prompted Matt to focus again on outboard equipment, old 70s analogues with a primarily hands-on usage.

Matt鈥檚 deeply moody solo performances, combined with his impressive session playing in the Modern Deep Left Quartet and Cobblestone Jazz, led to international acclaim.

Mat鈥檚 Itiswhatitis releases have attracted the praise of Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and Larry Heard.
