A FOGGY NOTIONS & FOREVER FESTIVAL
FUTURE DAYS PRESENTS:
June 12. Andrew’s Lane Theatre. 8pm.
MATMOS
Featuring: J Lesser
& special guests: SI SCHROEDER
An unmissable event, the opening FUTURE DAYS concert presents the debut Irish performance of Californian duo Matmos joined onstage by Matador Records labelmate and renowned fellow experimental electronic artist J Lesser. Also on the bill is Dublin-based artist/band Si Schroeder who made one of the most important Irish recordings of the decade with 2006’s Coping Mechanisms. www.myspace.com/sischroeder
Matmos is M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel. They make music out of the sounds of objects, animals, people, and actions. They have collaborated with Rachel's, Kronos Quartet and Bjork (with whom they have toured extensively), taught seminars on sound art at Harvard University and the San Francisco Art Institute, and DJ’d at proms for homeless teenagers. They have had pieces in the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, did a 17-day live performance at the Yerba Buena Museum of Contemporary Art in San Francisco, and have scored the soundtracks for five gay porn films, one pinball machine, and one NASCAR television commercial.
Following on from 2006’s conceptual album of sound portraits, The Rose Has Teeth in the Mount of a Beast, the duo’s sixth and latest album Supreme Balloon is a departure into the world of “cosmic pop” and is made entirely out of synthesizers.
