Seja talks to her guest Mat Watson about growing up in the country, loving metal and getting his start in music by playing drums and studying Jazz in Melbourne. Mat tells Seja about getting into experimental music as a sensory experience and how he has developed a very personal attachment to the EMS Synthi AKS; his favourite synthesiser and work horse. Seja and Mat share stories of playing together at the Sydney Opera House for Sydney Festival many years ago and chat about Mat's upcoming synthesizer orchestra show: MESS Live at the Bowl (details below).
Mat’s strange show story was illustrated by Myles Heskett (@myleskett).
