TIM.EXP-015 - Matt Jencik - Matt and Lyra - CS

Matt & Lyra by matt jencik Chicago musician Matt Jencik has been making music for decades now, be it in Nineties rockers Hurl, or more recently in Chicago avant-rock band Implodes. Since 2017, Jencik has been composing electronic drone & ambient music under his own name, and "Matt & Lyra" is his newest collection. About "Matt & Lyra", Jencik says: "I’m a big fan of fuzzy frequencies. After watching some demos for the Russian-built Lyra-8 synthesizer & hearing the fuzzed-out, insect-like sounds law I knew I had to get one. It’s a finicky little box & sometimes it’s difficult to control but once I understood the basics I started to find some wonderful tones. My original intent was to make music for my own personal use that I could listen to at night as I was falling asleep or to help me relax. Everything has been so dark the past few years and I was determined to make something that felt positive and light. The pieces are more sound collage/tone baths than songs
