Another beautiful sweeping dense work by
German artist Stephan Mathieu. Remain, a
new 60 minute composition utilizes
original material from Janek SchaeferÆs
Extended Play, reprocessed by Stephan
Mathieu between September 2008 and
October 2010 using an entropic setup,
spectral analysis and convolution
processes. A companion piece to A Static
Place on 12k.

Stephan Mathieu (b. 1967) is a self
taught composer and performer of his own
music, working in the fields of
electroacoustics and abstract digitala.
His sound is largely based on early
instruments, environmental sound and
obsolete media, which are recorded and
transformed by means of experimental
microphony, re-editing techniques and
software processes involving spectral
analysis and convolution; it has been
compared to the landscape paintings of
Caspar David Friedrich, the work of
Colorfield artists Mark Rothko, Barnett
Newman and Ellsworth Kelly.
During the last decade StephanÆs music
has been released on 28 CDs and vinyl
records, both solo and in collaboration
with Akira Rabelais, Douglas Benford,
Ekkehard Ehlers, Janek Schaefer, John
Hudak and Taylor Deupree on electronic
music labels worldwide.
Since 1992 he performed his music live
in solo shows and on festivals all over
Europe, Scandinavia, North and South
America and created various audio
installations for galleries and museums,
a glass-blowing factory, a 17th century
garden, Berlin Mitte, a 19th century
steel plant, parks, an arrangement of 30
Peugeots, a late antique throne hall and
many other unique sites.
I am a collector of 78rpm records from
the 1910s and 20s, the era of acoustic
and early electronic audio recording. I
love the way they transport sound.
