Stephan Mathieu is an electronic musician from Saarbruecken,
Germany. Starting out as a drummer in various improvised
contexts he made the switch to working mainly with computers in
the late 90Æs. Since then he has released a string of highly
acclaimed recordings on labels like Ritornell and Orthlorng
Musork. From his interest in design and work with installations
he has acquired a fine-tuned sense of form. His music is mostly
based on acoustic instruments but so far they have always been
more or less heavily computer processed. ôOn Tapeö is a pivotal
work for Mathieu as this is the first time we hear him leaving
his source material unprocessed by digital means.
Stephan started building this piece from recordings provided to
him by Swedish trio Tape and saxophonist Magnus Granberg.
Adding his own subtle drumming, field recordings and a focus on
reworking the sound material exclusively with classic editing
techniques this is a beautiful album that weaves elements from
the electronic and acoustic worlds to a seamless whole. A very
clear and uncomplicated atmosphere around this piece
distinguishes it from a lot of electronic music.
