Stephan Mathieu Biography

Stephan Mathieu is one of the most popular and richest Experimental Musician who was born on October 11, 1967 in Saarbrücken, Germany. Mathieu is a fan of 78-rpm recordings from the golden time of audio recording. his collection is primarily comprised of the raw gospel, jubilee bands hillbilly, Hawaiian steel guitar duets, and early recordings of music from 1900 to 1930.

A constant element in Mathieu’s job as a drummer in his time in the 90s was duo Stol together with guitar player Olaf Rupp. Stol was able to freely move between noise, improvisation and minimal rock. He also performed with guest musicians as well as Butoh dancers. They also recorded a mini-CD (Semi Prima Vista, 1994) as well as an EP in the 12-inch format (001.010.011.100 from 1995) that was released by Kitty-Yo, Berlin in 1998. The following year, he moved back to his home town Saarbrucken to start his own family, and then made an abrupt shift to compose and performing with computers.

Since 1992 he performed his music live in solo shows and on festivals all over Europe, Scandinavia, North- and South America, Japan and created various audio installations for galleries and museums, a glass-blowing factory, a 17th- century garden, Berlin Mitte, a 19th-century steel plant, parks, an arrangement of 30 Peugeots, a late antique throne hall and various other places.

In 1999 music label Orthlorng Musork released his Full Swing EP, a 12-inch record with two pieces made from “homeopathic vibrations”, microscopic snippets from recordings of Stephan’s drum kit which were processed by DSP software in realtime. He applied this working method to recordings of his own piano and guitar playing as well as material by other musicians until 2001, when he changed his approach towards sound from micro to macro, from working with tiny sound fragments towards extensive live recordings of acoustic instruments, which were now transformed by means of experimental microphony, re-editing techniques and software processes involving spectral analysis and convolution, culminating in his The Sad Mac CD, released on the Tokyo-based Headz label in 2004.
