SUSAN MATTHEWS
...the most important female British artist of our time... Alan Milne, 2008
A UK based avant-garde experimental composer, known for her intense, ambitious, hypnotic harmonies and industrial noise creations.
Her music...
...tangles the brutal with the fragile in a forbidding texture of sound that penetrates on so many levels at once, it's like being touched by a ghost... Dan Schaffer

- 'THE SILENT ARCHITECT' and 'SILENT VARIATIONS' AVAILABLE 6 DECEMBER 2007
The Silent Architect
'More dazzling abstractions of grace and beauty, these songs just floor me. Susan has the incredible gift of being able to convey very private emotions through song-forms that shouldn't work at first glance. Yet she pulls this trick time and again...' Noise Is A Friend, Dec 2007
'Silent Variations'
- 'HOPE-BOUND' RELEASED 16TH JULY 2007
'Hope-Bound' is available to buy direct from this Myspace page and Susan's website sirenwire.com
"Hope-Bound" should secure Susan as a leading figure in whatever industrial/ethereal avant garde music movement eventually attaches itself to her, because right now she's out on her own and way ahead of the pack. You can't pigeon hole her material. You could say it's part Eraserhead, part fairytale, part domestic horror story, but you'd only be scratching the surface. Susan is not currently playing by anyone else's rules and the result is unique and brilliant...her best work to date... Dan Schaffer LiveJournal 2007
