About Matt Elliott:
Matt Elliott has rather an atypical course. He used to work under the pseudo name The Third Eye Foundation, an emblematic figure of the English electronic scene recognized for his atypical electro tinted by drum' N bass.
Since his first album under his own name "The mess we made" ( on Domino Records), Matt Elliott has turned to compositions much more folk based, forsaking the laptop and the machines and turning more traditional instruments, guitar, piano and violin.
Amongst the many products of the fertile Bristol music scene of the 1990s, Matt Elliott represents something of an oddity.
When "trip-hop" was flavour of the month, Matt was instead exploring space rock and experimental drone music. In 1996, Matt began releasing under the moniker Third Eye Foundation, and with his stark and brutal approach to electronica unwittingly became a pioneer of something called "drill'n'bass". Then, whilst many were struggling to transcend the electronic aesthetic that had become associated with the city, Matt married sampling and electronics with acoustic instruments, song and voice for the critically-acclaimed The Mess We Made. Now, having left his native Bristol altogether and settled in rural France, Matt continues to release albums that have variously been described as folk, vaudeville and chanson française.
His fiercely independent approach has won him many admirers, and Matt has completed remixes for Mogwai, Thurston Moore, Blonde Redhead, and Yann Tiersen amongst others. Matt also continues to collaborate with long-term friends Hood, and lends his playing to many more records, as guitarist, drummer, clarinetest, viola player and programmer. Matt has toured far and wide over the last twelve years, recently appearing at Primavera Sound, Benicassim and Electric Picnic.
