New Urgences by Strange Devicers

Strange Devicers is Matt Atkins and Andy Rowe.

Matt Atkins is an improvising percussionist and sound artist who uses electronics, objects and tape loops in his work. He has released music on labels such as Falt, Rusted Tone Recordings, Invisible City, Whitelab Recs, tsss tapes, Coherent States, Steep Gloss, Flaming Pines, Wabi Sabi Tapes, Dasa Tapes and Chocolate Monk, among others. Since 2006 he has run his own label, MRM recordings. In 2020 he began curating and presenting a show for CAMP radio called Auricular Shelter.

Andy Rowe is a sound artist, producer and musician who lives and works in London. He has worked with sound in a professional and creative context since 1996. His current solo and collaborative incarnation involves an always developing, constantly changing selection of Pearlcorder T2020 dual mini & micro cassette players, Walkmans, dictaphones, mixers and effect units. The sounds created during each improvisation are drawn from an ever-growing collection of found and prepared tapes. Lost answer phone messages, language and self-help tapes, corporate dictation notes, discarded personal recordings and music cassettes are mixed up with prepared loops, drones, field recordings, found sounds, pulses and effects.

Matt Atkins is a London based sound and visual artist whose principle interests are reductionism, chance, repetition and texture. He uses objects, percussion instruments, occasionally a laptop and cassette recorders to create sound collages in both the recorded medium and live, often in collaborative performances. He runs the label Minimal Resource Manipulation.
