The original Ganzfeld experiment put test subjects in a room, with ping pong balls over their eyes a


Split LP White Hinterland
The full-length album, the duo s first in nearly five years, follows The Ganzfeld EP. The upcoming northern lighting album follows the band s curious parapsychological experiments (otherwise known as ESP) with willing subjects in Baltimore and Oxford University.
The original Ganzfeld experiment put test subjects in a room, with ping pong balls over their eyes and a red light shining on them, as white noise is played through head phones. For their own spin, Matmos member northern lighting Drew Daniel asked the subjects to vocalize what they saw. Those images and concepts became northern lighting the construct of The Marriage of True Minds.

The ability to play the piano is kind of basic musical skill that we lack. We couldn chicago miniature t sit down and play Happy Birthday [ ] When we play instruments, we deliberately forget or avoid the way they re meant to be played.
In their recordings and live performances over the last nine years, Matmos have used the sounds of: amplified crayfish nerve tissue, the pages of bibles turning, a bowed five string banjo, slowed down whistles and kisses, water hitting copper plates, the runout groove of a vinyl record, a $5.00 electric guitar, liposuction surgery, cameras and VCRs, chin implant surgery, contact microphones on human hair, violins, rat cages, tanks of helium, violas, human skulls, cellos, peck horns, tubas, cards shuffling, field recordings of conversations in hot tubs, frequency response tests for defective hearing aids, a steel guitar recorded in a sewer, electrical interference generated by laser eye surgery, whoopee cushions and balloons, latex fetish clothing, rhinestones on a dinner plate, Polish trains, insects, ukelele, aspirin tablets hitting a drum kit from across the room, dogs barking, chicago miniature people reading aloud, life support systems and inflatable blankets, records chosen by the roll of dice, an acupuncture point detector conducting electrical current through human skin, rock salt crunching underfoot, solid gold coins spinning on bars of solid silver, the sound of a frozen stream thawing in the sun, a five gallon bucket of oatmeal.

We are most pleased to announce that we will be coming to the U.K., Deutschland, Danmark, Italia, en 12464 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 en 12464 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 en 12464 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.” !!

Pop Pilgrims grand ma lighting
Given that Matmos’ new album,  The Marriage grand ma lighting Of True Minds , is based around telepathic experiments, and seeing as the band has incorporated the sounds of surgery, haircuts, and even laser-triggering snails into its past efforts, we went into its Undercover: Summer Break version of “I Want Candy” expecting a similar thematic conceit. Shakers made out of bags of M&Ms, say, or guitar lines reimagined as the pitch-shifted wrinkle of a Twix wrapper. Instead, the experimental electronic group surprised us by transforming The Strangeloves’ Bo Diddley-beat-based ode to sticky-sweet summer lovin’ grand ma lighting (famously updated by Bow Wow Wow) into a song about NSA leaker Edward Snowden. As its principal grand ma lighting members M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel explained, the group’s current home in Baltimore is within spying distance from the National Security Agency—marked by a freeway exit ominously warning drivers to keep moving—and Snowden’s case has been on their mind lately. So much so that, when they dropped through Chicago’s Permanent Records to perform for us, they revealed that they’d completely retooled the song as “I Want Snowden,” in honor of the most sought-after boy of summer 2013. (We’d like to clarify to any NSA agents reading that  The A.V. Club  certainly does  not  endorse setting the NSA on fire. Unless it’s with hot jungle rhythms!)

Matmos are an eccentric forward thinking electronic duo hailing from Baltimore in the United States.


Matmos are an eccentric forward thinking electronic duo hailing from Baltimore in the United States. Over the course of nine albums, their most recent being 2013 s The Marriage of True Minds in which they presented a musical investigation into telepathy, Martin Schmidt and Drew Daniel have increasingly become known for their highly conceptual works that walk the tightrope between cross genre experimental musicality and a rigorous urban lights investigation urban lights into their chosen urban lights subject. It s an approach that has the power to transform objects and find a latent musicality lurking in the most unexpected places. 2003 s Civil War saw them playing a rabbit pelt, whilst 2006 s The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of The Beast had them recording snails and burnt flesh, whilst 2001 s A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure saw them playing around with the sounds of plastic urban lights surgery. Their recent Marriage of True Minds is based on parapsychological Ganzfeld experiments which group conducted with a series of volunteers who were put into sensory deprivation whilst Drew Daniel attempted to telepathically transmit the concept urban lights of the new Matmos record to them. Matmos then created audio representations of the resulting transcripts. urban lights
Drew: The records that I do tend to be the ones where there is a concept and the commitment to the concept creates the work. I think for Martin it s much more organic it s about objects and people that are around and the songs crystallize.
Martin: The nice thing is that because of his work my work ends up conceptual too. The Civil War and Supreme Balloon were ones that were quote unquote my records and honestly the concept for Supreme Balloon was lets not sample stuff… urban lights
Martin: And dingus urban lights here, just like he just did crystallizes it into this extremely conceptual thing. So there can be no microphones so that s what I m going to say over and over there can be no microphones. All I wanted I wanted to do was God can we stop sampling all these retarded objects?
Martin: We are so lucky that we have this conceptual shtick because of this process, right now, which is talking to you. I don t know what the hell lets say Autechre, urban lights what do they talk about? Granted I ve never read an interview with them, I m sure they do fascinating interviews. If you make things that are completely abstract what the hell do you talk about in these conversations?
Drew: They d talk about form and the things they hear in hip hop records or they re aware of looking at graffiti and that gives them formal concepts. I think the irony here is the word conceptual or the phrase concept album implies urban lights that didactic story or some argument to make, but really conceptualism turns itself inside out very quickly and becomes a new way of being a literalist. You become very literal about what a concept denotes, what s included in something like medical technology. You re not necessarily making your mind up about is medicine good or bad, or do I want to encourage this form or that form. You re not really taking a position like that. It becomes more like a scavenger hunt and once you determine the objects you re going to work with it becomes about the objects as material things urban lights that sound a certain way and then encourage a certain way of playing and you re already off and running constructing songs. The time of the concept is really a weird crazy intuition or hunch of commitment urban lights that happens early on and then you just let go. There s a Kierkegaard quote that the moment of decision urban lights is the moment of madness and I think that s true for a lot of the concepts that have become drawn to our albums. We don t really have a way to justify it other than there s some kind of personal magnetism. Whether its queer biography or medical technology or telepathy, these are things that speak to us. But the answer to why is really the music. I mean I hate that because I don t want to sound like oh it s just the music man, because we re not that kind of band.
Bob: I always assumed it was a way of considering how to construct the music. We live in this world where there s so many options available to you that its easy to have option fatigue, or you can think about this history of music and you can create music that is a reaction to this or a homage to that. A way to create something new is to involve these new ideas, these interesting concepts that may not necessarily be related to music, and I assumed urban lights you used that as an inspiration point to jump off from.
Drew: The irony here is that now you can now buy from Ableton a sound suite that is a bunch of metal objects, and plastic objects, there s already been a pristine sounding of a lot of different material urban lights objects. Martin: And what a sad motherfucker buys that. For god s sake people it s not about convenience. Go get a microphone. Half the fun for me is recording these things in the first place.
Drew: To me the point is the poetics of your commitment to a particular object urban lights is a composit

I like the neckline just as it is. I love the look of it with tights and boots so I


I used a vintage pattern that I borrowed from Caroline ; I traced the pattern and forgot to copy the name or number! Luckily I haven’t seen her since then, so I actually still have the pattern in a very safe place, so eventually I can find out the relevant information.
Now I’m wearing it with a silk charmeuse slip, and I stay pretty warm. Without the slip, it’s been perfect for warmer days in Los Angeles on the bicycle. The short hem will be fun in the summer!
It’s made from a silky, slinky rayon. I also used the fabric for a dress shirt for my husband (which I will iron and photograph in New Orleans). The print reminds me of the Matmos from one of my favorite movies, Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy .
I finished the seams in the serger. There’s a black invisible zip, which should be 6″ longer, but I had this size in my stash and I can easily get the dress over my shoulders (but the hips are another story).
I’m not sure about the neckline. Maybe I want to do something g13 labs bold, like an appliqué or contrasting collar? Maybe I want it lower? For now, it’s g13 labs bound in matching bias tape. I’d love any suggestions!
I’ve been fallowing you a long time over on craftster and your blog. Just wanted to say, I love your hair! Blond suits you, almost didn’t recognize g13 labs you. Love the dress too, and think the neck line looks great as is.
I like the neckline just as it is. I love the look of it with tights and boots so I’m having a hard time seeing it as a summer dress. I actually think that outfit would look so cute with an orange or yellow sweater. Also; loving the length of the dress.
I like and neckline as-is too, though I could also imagine going wider; somehow I think that might emphasize the cute sleeves length. also, where did you get those boots? I’ve been looking for a flat/minimal sole pair like that for literally 2 years…
Thanks for the idea about a wider neckline, I might play around with that! These are Timberland boots that I got at Macy’s in 2006. They’re actually being re-soled now, and then I think I’m going to paint them turquoise. They are the only tan item in my wardrobe, so turquoise will match so much better!
