To date, Matthew Lister has released two albums that showcase his skill as a guitarist, arranger, and composer.

Matthew Lister’s first album, The Suite Acoustic, is available in both CD and digital formats from Bandcamp.com, and is also available digitally as a download from  iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.

The Suite Acoustic’s sixteen tracks are an eclectic mix of original and classical compositions that showcase Matthew’s talents as a composer and arranger. Violinist Melissa Waterhouse and guitarist Nicholas Lanzer lent their considerable talents to the project.

Included are Matthew’s arrangements (for two guitars) of all seven minuets of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Sieben Menuette” KV 65a. This marks the first time these minuets have been arranged for two classical guitars and been made available commercially. The Suite Acoustic has been well received by the press:

“The Suite Acoustic” plays like a sublime soundtrack for the small but memorable moments in life.”
