Event information
Susan Matthews is a UK based composer/musician, known for her intense, ambitious, hypnotic harmonies and industrial noise creations. She began composing experimental music, described by da/73 as ‘…dazzling abstractions of grace and beauty’, in 1999 and has developed a comprehensive CV of achievements, including gallery works, festival inclusions, artist residencies, live performances, film soundtracks and radio airplay, both home and abroad.
Susan Matthews’ ghostly minimalist piano hauntings are by turns complex and intimate. Immersing the listener in hypnotic harmonies, she offers abstraction as sublime beauty.
In 2005 she founded the independent record label Siren Wire Recordings and has also recorded music for Tursa, Apollolaan, Sonic Oyster Records, Earth Monkey Productions, Wild Silence, Pilot Eleven and d/a73.
An ardent collaborator, she has successfully worked with many of her favourite artists including Tony Wakeford (as Window Tappers), Rainier Lericolais, Clint Newton (as Harme), Clutter, The Dead Mauriacs, Ian Holloway, Thorsten Soltau (as Black Letters For The Lilies), Alistair Crosbie, Richard Moult, M, Yokna Patofa, Nick Grey, Damon Shulman and Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo.
In 2010 she launched Siren Wire Editions an independent record label specialising in hand made limited editions of music by carefully selected experimental artists from around the globe.
