Matthias Muche is a Cologne-based trombone player and composer. He stands for a generation of composer-performers for whom the distinction between jazz, improvised music and contemporary music no longer applies. He confidently draws on the diverse heritage of the avantgardes of the 20th and 21st centuries as a composer as well as a virtuoso improviser and interpreter.
The focus of his work includes interdisciplinary projects in music, theatre, dance and video art with which he has performed in over 50 countries.
After studying music at the Conservatorium Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Cologne, he completed a postgraduate degree at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and initiated the Frischzelle Festival for Intermedia Performance and Zeitkunst e.V.
In his Performance he uses a wide variety of playing setups: feeds of speech and soundscapes into the trombone, spatial expansion using external bells, interactive computer graphics as synaesthetic perception, or simply the pure, naked trombone.
