spectrum by celluloïd mata
this is celluloid mata, yet again surfing on sound waves and presenting a compilation of mostly released tracks. this is not a ‘best of’ sampler, as ‘spectrum’ is more of a dossier of tracks, which are hard to find. all of the cd tracks of this double set (and most of the vinyls) are not available anymore. instead of a re-release of all lost items, this is the essence of the past.
the direction of cd1 is focussed on heavily distorted rhythms that are monotonous, minimal, and repetitive. however, you can always hear mata’s experience in the building up of an electrified analog beat in concert with the unique elements of a track or of a song. listen to ‘the council’ featuring sheila mata’s voice and you will understand mata’s craftiness. this cd ends with an unreleased remix by two ant-zen artists which lead the listener to the non-rhythmic soundscape of cd2. these soundscapes illustrate mata’s melodic direction with the use of disturbing mostly non-distorted rhythm-loops that are overlayed with harmonious passages. ‘trinity test’ is a good example of the genres ‘rhythm industrial’ and ‘ambient’ overlapping perfectly. once again you can hear sheila mata on ‘the cyborg’ -- threatening indeed. the very end is strictly rhythm – just before you drift into bliss... or start again with cd1.
‘spectrum’ covers all parts of mata – diversification and variation with satisfaction guaranteed. you won’t find a single ‘sable’ track in this package!
