Content
Matteus creates on a basis of dérive. Travelling through a number of destinations, he documents a series of images, experiences and people. Here, the context of his work is icy, almost haunted (like the Northern European countries) with song writing being at the epicentre. For Matteus, an abandoned church organ, Chopin’s piano and a recording of Gdansk’s cemetery divine quietness become equally integral in his dissonant, almost naive manner of production. Liquid Mary was recorded between Stockholm, Gdansk, Longyearbyen and Athens through 2012.
Do you know about these tiny sounds that most of the times we don’t listen to? What if I emphasize on different sides of instruments and magnify those sounds? All those things we don’t listen to. And all the people & words we refuse to listen to. I would like my new work to sound a little explosive at times. But in the end, a little desperate. Like the desperateness outside the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard.
Background
Matteus is an avant-pop, one man band project. His first Ep “Silent Radiowaves” was presented live at the small music theatre, Athens, 2005 for “Danke Frau Fott” festival. Other unofficial works for Matteus include the soundtrack to the independent film “Living With Ghosts” and a residency for Stina Nordenstam’s “The World Is Saved” audiovisual project. In 2010 Matteus released his first, full length album “Ugly doll’s stories” (orl05) that gained critical acclaim and recognition. After having perused the Scandinavic countries by travelling through them year after year, he delivers his second Ep “Liquid Mary”.
