» SEPTEMBER NEWS:
After a break of nearly seven months, Matmos v Motion marks the eleventh
installment in FatCat's split 12" series. Introducing the work of new
FatCat recruit Motion for the first time, this release sees the convergence
of two different takes on digital / electronic soundscaping.
Two new tracks convey the schizophrenic scope of Matmos' operations. 'Freak
'n' You' was made almost entirely with a primitive digital editing program
called SoundEdit, and showcases Matmos' tricky electro cut-up style with a
surprising swerve toward mutated house halfway through. The track comes
complete with snippets and slivers of vocals stolen from various R+B
acapella tracks on major label promo CDs found in the garbage can of UC
Berkeley radio station KALX, where Drew Daniel is a DJ. Coming from an
entirely different musical universe, the second track "Rigged Seance"
commences with a duet between M.C. Schmidt on prepared and processed banjo
and Jay Lesser CDJ-ing a track of guitar contributed through the mail by
Dave Pajo (Papa M, Tortoise, Slint, etc.).
Motion is an alias for Kingston-based Chris Coode. Having been picked up
from a demo sent in over a year ago, this split 12" marks the producer's
first ever release. Soft and discrete, Motion's sound is all flickering,
skittering tones and drones, micro-processed elements. Slow-moving, yet
intensely focussed, Motion's microscopic works blow out into a series of
strange new landscapes that require deeper listening. Glassy textures slip
and slide; rhythms are insinuated, then rapidly dissipate; vocals burst out
suddenly then disappear as time-stretched textures; error and accident are
accommodated / encouraged, as Motion expands and contracts the mix,
reversing polarities and messing with the flow / experience of time.
September also sees the launch of the E-RMX project - a limited series of
eight 7" remixes. For more information, check the awesome,
specially-dedicated website: www.e-rmx.com
Following last month's release of their 'Ágætis Byrjun' album and cluster of
live UK dates, SIGUR RÓS are back on the road, this time as special guests
of Radiohead on the first leg of their European tour.
