At the dawn of 2019, the vision to create a synthesis of contemporary classical music and electronica unified three music students to found the group “maTrigal”. Gottfried Tadashi Forck (Cello), Raphael Gamper (Guitar) and Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz (Drums & Percussion) first met in the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock. The three musicians conceived of a project considered at once chamber music ensemble and band.

In an ambitious push towards new kinds of electronic chamber music and previously unheard sound constructs, the band have created certain compositional channels through which their rich and diverse backgrounds find footing. “maTrigal” mixes traditional and contemporary classical composition with modern Pop- and Jazz harmonics. Their compositions are heavily influenced by World music and the potentials of elaborate sound design. The traditional and the modern merge; coexisting to produce a new and reflected sound- mixture; Analogue electronics produced live - blend with digital pre-production, giving breathe to new soundscapes and effects which are then adapted further, live, through sampling. This coming together of classical composition and a hybrid of electronic sounds and production techniques, lends itself to the exploration of new musical territory. The blending of complex polyrhythmic and propulsive beats creates an ever-shifting balance between dance and concertante music. The focal points of maTrigal's musical vision are indeed based upon this kind of shifting, transformative relation between musical elements old and new.

In November 2019 maTrigal published their first EP 'Age Of The Golden Dragon'. It is available for streaming or download at Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. After two pandemic years, the band returns in 2022 with two brand-new music-videos, foreshadowing the arrival of their debut-album, as well as the sonata “Transition Void I-III” in form of a second EP.
