The Stone Hosts Two Matmos Sets

Abstract electronic duo Matmos will be playing two sets at Tzadik’s New York venue, The Stone, in February. Their most recent album, The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast, was released in 2006 on Matador.

From The Stone’s site:

“Dr. Drew Daniels (laptop, objects) Martin Schmidt (synth, objects)
Matmos are a duo who recently relocated from San Francisco to Baltimore. Their work is all over the place: musique concrete, pop music, rhythmic patterns, free improv, video, sound, actions. For this concert they will present their ‘cover’ of ‘The Backyard,’ the final act of the Robert Ashley tele-opera ‘Perfect Lives,’ and some newer pieces that focus on pure electronic music. Expect some improvisation and some guest shenanigans.”
