  • Bio

    "Monolyth & Cobalt is the music project from Mathias Van Eecloo, a french artist who encompasses music, photography and performance. Mathias works with many acoustic instruments like Harmonium, Piano, Various Strings, melodica and some human sound such as breath on tape, fields recordings. He also uses modern technology inclusing samplers, sequencer & effects processors. All of his music works are released like some book chapters, some soundtracks for imaginary landscapes. His music oscillates between electro-acoustic, electronica, drone, ambient, minimalist or shoegaze. There are no borders to focus his feelings in sounds, he works in this way that escapes any musical limitations which crosses musical genres and evokes images of the past and the future combined with his compositions. His first release has been edited on Kesh recordings in 2010. He prepares actually a new self-released album "E.Co" available at the end of December 2010, begining of January 2011. He works too to edited 3 new releases with Thomas Bel, Evo luthi and Julien Beau, available soon. and a some other collaborative works and solo for 2011. In parallel he works actually on an important featuring project, The Clyde Parker Project Session who will be finished in January 2011, an eclectic music project with some music artists from various horizons, various countries and with some different music practices"
