MATMOS Lecture TONIGHT @ SCI-ARC

Matmos/Drew Daniel & M.C. Schmidt

Queer Assemblages

TONIGHT @ 7p
W.M. Keck Lecture Hall

The San Francisco-based experimental music group Matmos begins SCI-Arc's Spring 2010 lecture series on January 27. Matmos is M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel, aided and abetted by many others.

In their recordings and live performances over the last twelve years, Matmos have employed such unlikely objects and instruments as amplified crayfish nerve tissue, the turning pages of Bibles, a bowed five string banjo, slowed down whistles and kisses, and water hitting copper plates.
