Mats/Morgan, comprised of drummer Morgan Ågren and keyboardist Mats Öberg, form an avant-garde music duo known for their intricate and technically demanding compositions that traverse numerous genres, from jazz fusion to progressive rock and beyond. Both Swedish musicians began collaborating in their early teens and have been defying conventional musical norms since the late 1980s. Their long-standing partnership is anchored in a shared penchant for innovative structures, rhythmic complexity, and an eclectic approach to their craft.

Morgan Ågren, a drumming prodigy, has been lauded for his remarkable technique and versatility, drawing recognition from a global audience as well as from revered musicians—most notably Frank Zappa, with whom Ågren had the privilege to play. Mats Öberg, blind since birth, possesses an extraordinary mastery of the keyboard and is a wizard of improvisation and composition. Together, as Mats/Morgan, they have released a series of albums that showcase their virtuosity and collaborative synergy, including "Trends and Other Diseases," "Thanks for Flying With Us," and "Schack Tati." In recent projects such as "Live with Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra" and through performances on platforms like "Radio Live Stream," Mats/Morgan continues to push the boundaries of contemporary music, securing their place as luminaries within the avant-garde and progressive music scenes.
