Matter performed his own chansons in contemporary Bernese German at local venues and on the radio; he accompanied himself on the guitar. He was killed on 24 November 1972 in a car accident on his way home from a concert.

His Bernese German songs remain very popular in the Swiss German speaking part of Switzerland, and Matter is a great influence on the dialect music scene in Bern, and his songs are frequently covered.Song books:"Us emene lääre Gygechaste","Warum syt dir soo truurig?" "Sudelhefte":it is often overseen that his song texts are far more political than thought or heard the first time.Some members think he would have written books instead created more songs.
