Matt Elliott (aka The Third Eye Foundation)
MATT ELLIOT was/is THE THIRD EYE FOUNDATION with a string of albums,
singles, remix projects on (the legendary Planet Records and Lindas Strange Vacation but mostly DOMINO). His sound is a dirty but blissed out mixture of Arvo Part, Photek, Spaceman 3, Popol Vuh and Coil. This tour is in support of his new classically alcohol drenched and beautiful deranged long player 'Drinking Songs' on the independent French label Ici D'Aillieurs home of the famous composer of AMELIE ˆYann Tiersen and the cult French black-post-rockers BASTARD. One of England's finest, melancholically gifted unsung producers, MATT ELLIOT aka THE THIRD EYE FOUNDATION started out in mid 90s Bristol amongst a close knit network of bands including Flying Saucer Attack, AMP, Crescent and Hood (all of whom he played in or worked with). His debut album 'Semtex' was one of the 90s most astonishing debuts, a startling collision of MY BLOODY VALENTINE guitar violence, white noise and D&B rhythms. He subsequently signed to Domino Records and went on to release four haunting and paranoid albums on the imprint - picking up a cult following in the process - before retreating to rural France in 2001. Since then Matt's distinctive purgatory of mutilated samples and sorrowful, disembodied voices has given way to a more mature, organic and stripped down sound drawing on his taste for Slavic and Eastern European music. As you'll hear in his live show, he now favours a relatively unprocessed sound featuring guitar, cello and vocals. He is an outsider artist that moves in mysterious ways. His influence has been immense. Artists as diverse as Clouddead, Radiohead and the The Bug have all been touched by his primitive sense of atmosphere and hymn. A musician to file alongside MUSLIMGAUZE, BARK PSYCHOSIS and RICHARD YOUNGS.

this is how Sonar Festival announced his inclusion

Matt Elliott, the brilliant musician from Bristol who in the 90’s was responsible for memorable records such as Third Eye Foundation, will perform his second record under his own name, “Drinking Songs”, live. The album confirms his stature as one of the most interesting artists of today.

Manyfingers
MANYFINGERS is the wonderful uber-instruentalist that entertains the audience by multi-playing, plucking, blowing his way through a host of instruments to create a engrossed, delicate but emotional soundscape that picks up on ECM jazz, MOUSE ON MARS electronix and RACHELS like post-classical. Is the work of Bristol based multi instrumentalist Chris Cole who has played and collaborated with a host of influential bands (CRESCENT, MOVIETONE, MATT ELLIOT), now a seasoned traveler. His self-titled debut was released last year on THE REMOTE Viewer‚s label MOTEER. Utilising a cornucopia of live instrumentation - guitar, cello, xylophone looping live phrases up to create forebodingly beautiful sample symphonies. This breath-taking style marks him out as a unique and prodigious talent in his own right.
