« 12th Anniversary »
M.C. Schmidt has lived in Baltimore for 3 years or so and has enjoyed it very much. He enjoys the way free improvisation infects every good scene here, and feels that the High Zero Festival is still the current center of that historical influence. He hopes it rubs off on him and his band Matmos in which he has been playing for 16 or 17 years with his evil-genius boyfriend Dr. Drew Daniel. He has also played with Marshall Allen, David Grubbs, Mary Baker Eddy, Jason Willett, Willa Cather, Marshal Tito, Ecstatic Sunshine, Bjork, The Beatles and The Guess Who. Sometimes he lies. He tires of writing in the third person now, but looks forward with excitement toward listening to and playing "music".
