Martin Matalon is a contemporary composer whose eclectic and vibrant compositions have garnered international recognition, carving a distinct niche in the landscape of modern classical music. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1958, Matalon's journey in music began at an early age and continued to evolve as he moved to the United States in 1984 to further his studies. Graduating from the Conservatoire national supérieur musique et danse de Lyon and then from the University of California, Berkeley, he was profoundly influenced by his experiences in both the American and European contemporary music scenes.

Matalon's work is characterized by an innovative use of technology and a seamless integration of different media. This has been demonstrated in his recent releases such as "Traces," an exploration of interaction between live performance and electronics, where the concept of creating a musical trace or imprint guides the compositional process. His dedication to developing new piano repertoires is evident in "Formas del Tiempo - Piano Music of Martin Matalon," which showcases his interest in temporal structures and sonorities. A hallmark of his creative output is the blending of diverse elements, as heard in "Martin Matalon: Del Color a La Materia - La Makina," where the fusion between acoustic and electronic sounds creates a vibrant sonic tapestry. "Matalon & Hurel: Tramages" further cements his reputation as a collaborator, pushing the boundaries of genre and style. Through his extensive oeuvre, Martin Matalon continues to challenge and expand the horizons of contemporary classical music, inspiring listeners and performers alike with his innovative compositions and collaborations.
