PROFILE: mattir
ALSO KNOWN AS: Matti
POISON: everything that is distorted and weird, and i am a sucker for pretty high pitched melodies ( if they are distorted and weird), musicals
WEAPON/S OF CHOICE: A lot of software, a (cheap) microfone, a (cheap) midi keyboard, my voice (sometimes)
KNOWN ASSOCIATES: APLM, Snailhead, KLV (who worked with Maria and me on “When You’re Sober”) New Motive Power and remixes for WGWGSASAPLM and Flying Batteries
CLAIM TO FAME: I haven’t really released anything yet, so i have to say “When You’re Sober” with APLM and “A Girl” with Snailhead, both from the HAI releases.
RUMOR HAS IT: My EP “Otter” is going to be released on June 2nd, also there is some talk about a collaborative EP between me and the Snailhead himself.
Carpeaux of inb4track reviews the Best of /mu/ 2012 entries of New Motive Power, Mattir, A Problem Like Maria & Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack.
On New Motive Power’s “Breathe”: The track itself is powerful and fun, with a nice progression and an effective transition between hard and softer parts.
On Mattir’s “You Trusted Me”: Here he brings a pretty and sweet electronic track with an interesting synthplay.
On A Problem Like Maria’s “Eviction Notice”: The rapping isn’t bad, the emotion is there, but perhaps at could use a little bit more of that, the “being in the moment” aspect of it. The chorus is nice.
On Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack’s “Out From Underground Alive”: I like it a lot, the singing is beautiful, the lyrics are good, the structure is flawless and the EDM side of it comes forward more than on the previously mentioned track.
