Founded by M. C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel in 1995 in San Francisco, matmos is a mulit-coloured emblem of electronic music. Interweaving the sounds of freshly cut hair, the nerve tissue of crayfish, the pages of a bible, chirurgical instruments or a hamster cage with electronic beats and fragments of pop music, mysterious collages come into being.
Matmos produced björk’s album vespertine and participated in experimental theatre productions such as Robert Wilson’s. The new album the marriage of true minds even saw them referring to para-psychological practices: Volunteers were equipped with blindfolds and headphones with white noise. Matmos then tried to transfer the “concept of the new matmos record” telepathically, to subsequently translate the perceptions and mental images of the volunteers musically. Also on stage, matmos is a hypnothic and visionary complex, a laboratory to analyse the unknown.
