Montauk Variations is Perrier Award-winning British pianist/cellist Matthew Bourne's first studio album as a solo artist.

The album was inspired by Bourne's trip to Montauk, New York in August 2009[1] and was recorded at Dartington Hall in Devon.

[4] Montauk Variations received positive reviews across the UK press and was generally praised for its sense of serenity and stillness compared to Bourne's earlier work in "improvisational jazz [and] proto metal outfits".

[6] The Skinny praised the album, saying, "Whether mellow and romantic (Juliet) or tumultuously erratic (Étude Psychotique), Bourne’s work is ceaselessly inventive and always absorbing".

[8] In The Independent, Phil Johnson dismissed the more frenetic moments on the record, saying "There's a bit of mad plinky-plonk, but otherwise Bourne uses space and consonance to create a series of meditations on mood and place".
