Matmos + Chantal Michelle

silent green presents 

Matmos
Drew Daniel and M.C. Schmidt have been making music as Matmos since 1997, first in San Francisco, and then relocating to Baltimore in 2007 when Daniel began to teach at Johns Hopkins University. They are respected, innovative auteurs in the world of electronic music and sampling culture whose very first album was hailed as “entering electronics Valhalla” by the WIRE magazine for sampling highly unusual sound sources such as the amplified nerve tissue of crayfish. Ever since, they have made music out of a wildly heterogeneous set of objects and sources. These raw materials are manipulated into surprisingly accessible forms, and often supplemented by traditional musical instruments played by internationally celebrated guest musicians from their circle of friends and collaborators. The result is a model of electronic composition as a relational network that connects sources and outcomes together; information about the process of creation activates the listening experience, providing the listener with entry points into sometimes densely allusive, baroque recordings that have the direct sensory immediacy of pop music.  
 
Matmos' new album will be released on Thrill Jockey on 20 June.

Chantal Michelle
Chantal Michelle is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose practice engages with the tactile and spatial properties of sound. Her work incorporates feedback systems, multichannel speaker arrangements, and psychoacoustic phenomena to explore the relationship between sound, perception, and physical space. She is interested in the fragility of perception and its ability to be altered, disrupted, or reconstructed. Michelle’s work has been presented internationally at venues and festivals such as Fridman Gallery, Cafe OTO, MUTEK, and Het HEM. Her discography includes a forthcoming LP on Shelter Press, alongside previous releases on Dinzu Artefacts, Somewhere Press, and Warm Winters Ltd. She is also one half of the experimental noise project ⎤⎤⎤, with releases on Superpang and Notice Recordings.
