Matmata is a small Berber community on the edge of the Sahara Desert in the centre of Tunisia. As is typical for the village, dwelling structures consist of a large pit dug in the ground, where rooms around the pit are dug out as caverns. Parts of Star Wars Episode IV were filmed in Matmata depicting the home of Luke Skywalker and his family. Salecich's composition of the same name fuses jazz with the melodies and rhythms of the region. Matmata is mostly in 7/8 with some suprises along the way, and switches between the grouping of the quavers in either a 2+2+3 or a 3+2+2 formation.
