  • Bio

    Matt is an Ottawa-based singer/songwriter, originally from Winnipeg. His music is based around the acoustic guitar, and draws inspiration from a broad tradition of outsider folk. Aside from his ongoing role in the band Mr. Pine (as well as a long and semi-successful stint fronting Cone Five) Matt has recorded three solo CDs with contributions from Winnipeg musicians. All three CDs enjoyed extensive college airplay in Canada, landing spots on the national campus top 200. The material is generally brooding and bleak in content, but pretty in form. Themes explored include personal relationships, storms and isolation. Matt is a lot more friendly and stable than his lyrics seem to suggest.

    PRESS REACTIONS

    "Nebulous post-industrial soundscapes constantly tweaked and realigned to create one of the most original electronic records of the year to date. 4.5/5" - THE MILK FACTORY

    "Literally one in a million; tweaking and meshing uncommon sounds to create one of the most original electronic pieces I have heard all year. Abstract art for the ears most certainly." - AW MUSIC

    "A post-glitch triumph that goes by quickly but not without making one’s head spin." - CYCLIC DEFROST

    "Murky Circuits sounds like a highly caffeinated robot took over a decrepit Radio Shack and had its way with anything it could grab." - CHUBBY JONES

    "Dizzying and compelling." - BRAINWASHED
