Matthew Welch is a young composer who blends his Scottish roots and skills as a bagpipe virtuoso with folk music and Indonesian Gamelan. His first CD for Tzadik presents three pieces that should establish Welch as an important new voice in the contemporary music firmament. First is a remarkable new string quartet, complex and lyrical, taking the work of composers such as Aaron Copland, Lou Harrison and Ben Johnston into the 21st Century. Meticulously performed by the brilliant Flux Quartet, Siubhal Turnlar is a masterpiece. Also included is a subtle drone piece for multiple clarinets exploring difference tones and a spectacular concerto for bagpipes and percussion with Welch himself as soloist. A trio of three compositions from a young composer starting out strong on the visionary trail of contemporary composition.

Matthew Welch is undoubtedly best known as the first serious player of bagpipes in modern creative jazz and experimental music since Rufus Harley first appeared in the '60s. But his second album, Dream Tigers, features very little of Welch's signature instrument, which only appears in its full skirling glory in the triumphant final movement of the three-part "The Self and the Other." Instead, this album focuses on Matthew Welch the composer. First up is the seven-part "Siubhal Turnlar," a complex and intriguing string quartet written for and performed by the Flux Quartet, followed by the ten-minute "Enantiomorphs," a drone piece for clarinets that recalls European post-minimalists of the '80s like Gavin Bryars or Wim Mertens. The album's closing piece, the 16-minute "The Self and the Other," is the most characteristic piece for those familiar with Welch's earlier work, incorporating the composer's fascination with the sound of gamelan orchestras. Those expecting lengthy bagpipe solos might be somewhat disappointed with Dream Tigers' different focus, but this is an impressive and enjoyable collection. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Matthew Welch
Active Decade: '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde, Structured Improvisation
Matthew Welch is one of only a few bagpipe players in modern creative music. Welch grew up studying Scottish bagpiping and experimental music. He attended Simon Fraser University and Wesleyan University, where he worked with Anthony Braxton and Alvin Lucier. Braxton wrote his Composition No. 247 with Welch's bagpipes in mind, which is unusual because the music from Braxton's Ghost Trance Series has generally not been written for specific instruments. Welch also played accordion on Lucier's Vespers and Other Early Works. 2002 saw the release of Ceol Nua, in which Welch's compositions were performed by the Janacek Conservatory Orchestra and various Wesleyan students.
