Matti Salo Quartet
Sounds and music have their own life, their own pulse, and their own magic. As a musician, I’m honoured to be part of this process, at times stepping aside to see where the music takes us. Communication through music transcends all languages and takes us into a deeper, more spiritual realm of connection as human beings.
I aid this creative process through my roles as a bandleader, sideman, composer, producer, sound designer, mixer, teacher. I play many instruments, including the guitar, keyboard/synths, saxophone, and bass.
