UK based Susan Matthews is an enlivening and inventive experimental composer, combining the DIY ethos of punk with an ear for an engaging melody.
From British Galleries, to US Festivals, to Greek National Radio Susan’s music successfully bridges the gap between sound art and music, nestling comfortably between the two.
Her latest CD ‘SirenWire69’ sees her successfully challenging convention and effectively communicating her own unique slant on life and music.
From the disturbing electronic persistance of ‘Hegemony’, to the gentle piano soundscape of ‘Botanical Rite No.3 - Shift 8vb’, ‘SirenWire69’ showcases Susan’s impressive gift for fitting unusual sounds, rhythms and melodies into traditional and popular forms and structures.
Her music is haunting, compelling, yet challenging, resulting in an experimental yet highly accessible work. This is music which creates it’s own world and draws you in. Indeed, true music that takes you on a journey...

SirenWire69 ...Influenced by her surroundings and ideas and concept of a more personal nature, Susan has created an abstract spectrum of avant-garde styling through the utilization of her skeletal vocals, piano, keyboards, toys, baby monitors and telephone answer machines to create track after track of truly experimental music in the true sense of the word. Taking her cue from the likes of Nurse with Wound, early Virgin Prunes, early Current 93 and, of course, Throbbing Gristle, Susan grafts together an album that holds a wonderful amount of intrigue and passion... that makes the flow and output diverse and interesting enough to keep you involved for the entirety of it. Fractured sounds and delicate played pianos are interspersed with improvised noises and childlike imagery to produce a complex and thought provoking energy that is dispersed through the flow of extremely diverse tracks the disk contains.
...her compositions aren’t instantly attainable. You don’t ‘get it’ with one listen. You have to work at them, immerse yourself in them, try to get to the bottom of what they are about and when you do, you know it was well worth the effort. For those of you who still crave for the avant-garde experimentations of ‘industrial- music’, then ‘SirenWire69’ could well be your siren song. Let it entice you in.
