As a composer and arranger, Matt’s work has been called "staggeringly creative" by the New York Times, "obsessively detailed" by New York Magazine, and "stunning" by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Bang on a Can Marathon, the Tribeca New Music Festival, and for WNYC radio. His recent post-Christian nihilist pop-opera, The Little Death, will be released on New Amsterdam Records in 2010.
