Matmos (USA)

Known to the public through their collaborations with such artists as Björk, ANOHNI (formerly known as Antony), Terry Riley, the Kronos Quartet, David Tibet, Robert Wilson and Nico Muhly, Matmos have defined the sound of contemporary electronic music. Exploring the idea of a limited acoustic palette, their 2016 album “Ultimate Care II” drew all its sounds from a washing machine. The album they released in March of this year, titled “Plastic Anniversary”, took plastic as its sole source.
