JAZZ OR POP? ACOUSTIC OR ELECTRONIC?

For Matthias Vogt these contradictions were never mutually exclusive. By the artist name of Motorcitysoul he produces electronic club tracks and by his common name Matthias Vogt he works as a bandleader and pianist seeking the points of contact between jazz and electronic. Perhaps this double existence makes him so barely tangible.
But if we abandon thinking in pigeonholes, then we discover a musician, who has found his niche in the nowhere land between genres and who holds musical treasures, you would not have assumed to be necessarily there. With his band [re:jazz] he vests electronic club tracks with acoustic jazz robes and so guides electronica fans through the colours of jazz, as well as he turns the faces of jazz lovers towards a musical direction, whose compositions they had not much confidence in. But Matthias Vogt is not "the voice of one crying in the wilderness". He is not a missionary but a subtle music lover and curious about the possibilities music offers nowadays. Above all he is falling for the gentle notes, as you might realize very quickly when meeting him personally: more introverted, he is a prudent dialog partner who chooses his words carefully but presents them with calm self-confidence. As a musician he prefers the muted timbres to the shrill ones, he paints with the camel hair brush not with the rough bristles. This applies to the pianist as well as to the composer and the producer. In general Matthias Vogt doesn't seem to see these different roles separately. As a pianist he thinks in terms of composition and his compositions are always imprinted by the imaginative capabilities of a producer.
