Matmos – “alternately tactile and thunderously crunchy” duo will tour Europe in 2014 with Jeff Carey

We are most pleased to announce that we will be coming to the U.K., Deutschland, Danmark, Italia, España and France to sow peace, love and “a language of clicks, taps and zippy glissandi” as well as “serious music with a sense of fun”.  Perhaps we will also play  “brilliant sets building terse loops into overarching, evolving structures {which are} largely meditative and occasionally wry”!  Perhaps also, “noisy, rhythmical, humid, treacly stews of wonderful, gibbering sounds, rich textures and gleeful insanity”…but we’re not sure.

We are also VERY pleased to bring with us Jeff Carey, a fellow Baltimorean, who will purvey, according to the Wire Magazine: “musique concrete that has torn away from it’s formal academic origins. Deconstruction and assembly in nasty extremis.”  He may also show himself, as Jan St. Werner (the one with the beautiful hair) said once to be, “A master of granular synthesis, {with} the idea of an intense listening space seeming to be just right for Jeff’s radical approach to sound.” !!
