Discussion(Descriptions, reviews, discussion):
Matt's sixth album, brain salad surgery, will be out on Hot Air [UK] in April, 2001. brain salad surgery relies HEAVILY on Kyma, using a custom patch to generate partially-random percussion and tonal fragments. The best combinations were then edited and assembled into wildly percussive tunes. You can check out samples of his work at his web site, and you can order directly from the label via email fw@subrosa.net
