Played by Karotte !!! With his newest EP on Wagon Repair (Ghosts in the AI - WAG058), Mathew Jonson looks to both the past and future to create a stunning release. Track 1 - Ghosts in the AI - is the first solo production that was made in Wagon Repairs new Berlin studios. Finally, in a real place to work, and with a lot of new gear to play with, Mathew focuses on evoking both the future and technology to wonderful affect. Track 2 - Technology - comes from Mathews past as it was created around the same time as tracks like Octagon came out on IIWII. Originally, it was going to be the first cut on his debut album that he was planning to release. On the day that Mathew was looking for a b-side track for the Ghosts in the AI EP, his brother, Nathan (Hrdvsion), played it over the phone asking him why he had not released it, as it was one of Nathans favourites. It worked much better than the other track that was going to be on here so thanks, Hrdvsion. Track 3 - The Alchemist - comes from Mathews involvement this summer producing the music score for the old classic silent film Faust, which was screened, complete with Cobblestone Jazz playing the score live, at the 2009 Timewarp festival. The Alchemist was written for the scene when Faust is working in his laboratory then walks out into the snow to summon the devil to help with his work. A fitting piece indeed!
