| NEWSFLASH: June 1999: Kaffe Matthews' Third Solo CD Out | |
New release on Annette Works from live convertor Kaffe Matthews on the case in Oslo, Chicago and London A further stride into more noisy rhythms and abstract cyber landscapes, cdCécile is a clear shift into dirt and swooping beats and some kind of wizard abuse of repetition to transport all senses. The violin has pretty much disappeared. In fact you'll be lucky to get a glimpse of it. Using more of the sound of the places and people she plays (on this one its Oslo, Chicago and London ('98-99) there's a sense that Kaffe really cracks the whip on her electronics. Gone are the sugar tacky violin motifs. Now if heard, its more as showers of burning bees or cracking icebergs or rolling bass grooves. Cécile rocks. cdCécile mail order: £10.50 per CD (UK EUROPE) and £11.00(THE REST) including p p.

Some press comments "kaffe matthews : one of England's finest live sampling performers."-- Arlidr Andersen, Oslo Independent, Norway "Over the past few years, she's released two striking CD's whose unusually warm sensibility lifted them out out of the pack of usual noisemakers ."-- Kenneth Goldsmith. New York Press, USA "..... shows an extraordinary range of improvisatory imagination"-- the WIRE, UK "INTOXICATING RACKET TO DELICATE LYRICISM"-- Clive Bell, Resonance, UK. "Din from loudspeakers."-- Clement Crisp. The Financial Times. "Produces soundscapes of rigorous intent and shocking beauty"-- Pittsburgh Post Gazette, USA. "Stockhausen crossed with the Boredoms"-- the Independant, UK "You wander with the rest of the audience in the chill semidarkness as the music gets more odd and beautiful. Kaffe Matthews's soundcape is wonderful ."-- Fiachra Gibbons, The Guardian, UK "This woman rocks. Incredibly too it's all being made from two hidden microphones somewhere around here and that wired up violin: and, that laptop's memory was empty at the start. This is certainly worth checking out for something more than a night out."-- D. Forbster, Evening Post Review of Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham, UK 5.11.98 A little background . . .
