Welp Matmos has a new record coming! It is very noisy! Drew and I sitting on couch thinking it also sounds (for REASONS) like a lost record of ours from mmm…1997, for better or worse!
Here is footage of a camp in Port Fourchon, near Grand Isle, as Ida came ashore. The video is from a security camera below the camp. (Video Credit🎥 Jeremy DiBenedetto)
It’s Drew’s birthday! As I am the worst partner in the world 30 years running he buys himself presents that he opens. This one is a book in which he has an essay. …about drinking horse piss in Shakespeare’s “Antony and Cleopatra”. Wish him a happy one at

I bought a returned item at Guitar Center yesterday. I asked why the previous owner had returned it and the sales lad read the computer, “It says, ‘remorse’.”
I’m here at Taqueria Can-Cun on Mission and 19th in SF eating what, for me, is the burrito to which all burritos are compared. A holy sainted place. Like Lourdes, or…something. Reassuringly, they are also open Tuesday!
My frat boy neighbors are actually having shirtless push up competitions on their back porch right now while listening to Led Zeppelin. This is fine with me.
I’d just like to say I’ve avoided ever tweeting anything about the curdled vomit the U.S. has had as president lately, as I’m a believer in NOT soaking in/promoting shit you hate. I’ll be glad when his gross name is not repeated a billion times a day. Environment/Education/Love
Yo! Drodzy przyjaciele! Hear Ye Hear Ye! the new MATMOS album "Regards / Ukłony dla Bogusław Schaeffer," a transformation of the great Polish electroacoustic composer's sounds into weird new songforms, will be released by

on May 20th on LP / CD & digital formats! 🌈
I give my thanks to this Harmon Kardon 630 amp, found discarded on the floor of a closet in Arcata in 1983 and was in hard, hard service for the next 35 years. I learned about sound thru it, and Matmos made our first 4 records thru it. Love and gratitude to this object.
Goddammmit I love hummus. It’s one of those bang-for-your-buck super pleasures. Mm! I love it. I don’t know why all you all ‘follow’ me, but...make an emulsion with the tahini and the oil before your pour it in the grinder. Ok. Mm!
I wore a 21 mg nicotine patch every day for the last 27 years. I drank 3 to 5 cups of strong coffee every day! I smoked some delicious cigarettes pretty regularly. I haven’t had any of those things for 13 days now. I FEEL WEIRD. Like New Flesh weird. Like maybe too weird weird.
Matmos has a new album called Return to Archive made from dozens of non-musical Folkways albums. Commissioned by Folkways it is both dense and relaxing, noisy and musical. Toe tapping grind. There are frogs. So many frogs.
The new Matmos album is not ambient. So I made an ‘ambient’ album. Or at least Drew kept saying, “make an ambient album!” and I made an album…I’ll tell you about it…tomorrow? (It arrived in the mail yesterday).
I try not to say controversial things on here (why bother?) but I’ll just say here, (as many of us head into -someone else’s- house) that I have no idea what to do in a room when someone starts talking in a high squeaky baby voice to a pet for some extended period of time.
I made my solo album “From Fountains to Sewers” available online, if you want to hear it, or have it on yer ‘puter! On the Matmos Bandcamp page. It’s “ambient”…if you like.
Matmos will premiere the first of many videos accompanying parts of our new album on Thursday! It features •this• among many collages we will provide you in the coming weeks!
Slinky (?) new Matmos song made from the injection of air into the esophagus and afterward the basic sounds formed therefrom….and a lot of other sounds, too. Our new single for you.
I made a new tape/album thing. Sent it to Thomas Dimuzio for mastering! Drew said to make it ‘ambient’ which…maybe some is…also, ‘disquieting’. Or splorchy. Definitely some splortch. Glurg. Some is downmixed from quadrophonic. Ambi-glurg.
If you have never heard my 2014 solo album ‘Batu Malablab’ - It is now available for your perusal and purchase on Bandcamp. The Wire magazine said, “...time congeals and a magical terrain opens up...”
Our appliance repair fellow stripped down our washing machine for me. Our album ‘Ultimate Care II’ made entirely from this washing machine is available on Bandcamp today!
Saturday, Matmos will play an online show courtesy of the Bemis Center of Omaha, Nebraska! Details, I don’t got. But, Saturday! Live from my study! Woot.
The new Matmos album, already in line for Very Special and Rare Vinyl Commodity Service (like all records, now) lends itself well to multi-channelization. An example of this will be played at Norway’s EKKO Fest this month! Our future tour? SEXOPHONIC
If you like watching Matmos, I’ve put up a studio improvisation we did onto YouTube. It’s pretty hypnotic in parts so don’t watch while you’re driving!
I will be standing next to Drew as he does this. Smiling and waving…as is the role of a goode christian wyfe…when I’m not on my knees…praying for his next BLEND to be wonderful.
hey world! yours truly +

- our set will be 45 minutes but so far I have about 9 hours of material planned so it's gonna be a tight squeeze! tix:
DUMB TWEET. The happy ukulele xylophone reggae-for-kids default music for 9 out of 10 instructional youtube videos makes me want to exit this reality. I really don’t like it. Please, just show me how to use the natural steam release on the instant pot without the vybes. THX.
Ahh. Back to the US where men my age think that wearing cargo shorts and a ‘polo’ shirt is flattering or dignified. It’s not, fellas. Fucking dorks, ugh.
My avant garde snobby controversial opinions: woo.
Spent some many hours entering the liner notes back into our first SIX albums on Bandcamp. You may now KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LISTENING TO! Also I placed many pictures and some bonus stuff on Supreme Balloon. Enjoy! Consider buying! Buy!
Is it even possible to see nerd-glamour in 1994? Here’s our home studio then...Quasi Objects...The West...two W-30s an (already v outdated) Mirage, SH101 (still wrkng) a Mac Quadra(?), a Tascam DAT machine (wrkng!) Ibanez DM1100❤️
If you are in the New York area tonight and have nothing better to do…Matmos is playing at Public Records. It looks infuriatingly cool, so come enjoy our muthafuckin’ WHIMSY. Perfect. Part of Bang on a Can’s Long Play Festival.
MATMOS SAN FRANCISCO at
Sunday the 21st. Seattle’s ‘The Stranger’ said, “…irresistible rhythm before our blessed ears. 21st century musique concrète met IDM met gamelan…” Opening are meticulous rock craftsmen “The Dick Slessig Combo” featuring our buddy Mark Lightcap of ACETONE
We have finally hit the only moral center America has, historically: YOU CAN NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY CAN. It’s all, culturally ‘we’ have. Religion? Nah. The Arts? Nah. Nobility? Nah. WEALTH WEALTH WEALTH ITS OUR MORAL COMPASS ITS OUR GUIDE. Haha. Grim
CHICAGO please come see our new Matmos show at Constellation tomorrow night! 6 channel surround, plastic, plastic surgery, samples of Moth Cock, samples of 1960s polish musique concrete.
A fan (I presume!) some years ago sent some beautiful enigmatic pictures of our first album…in nature. If I understand correctly he doesn’t have a tape player so rather than listening to the tape he took it on a hike, and photographed it. Here’s one of the pictures.
