M.C. SCHMIDT & OBIE FELDI BIOGRAPHY 2026
Two generations of Baltimore outsider sound artists come together making strikingly organic and intuitive new music.
M.C. Schmidt of oddball sampling pioneers Matmos and Obie Feldi, a member of bruising post-everything duo Two Weeks (ages 59 and 21, respectively).
They alchemically distil field recordings, synthesis, neo-ASMR whispering, mysterious liquid noise and close mic-ed percussive sounds into alternately jarring and soothing passages of electroacoustic collage.
Sometimes hinting at an esoteric conceptual gambits – but eschewing unity in favor of a restless movement across a meandering landscape.
Voices both real and synthesized occasionally bob to the surface, but the emphasis throughout is on textural encounter as subtly psychedelic drips and amoeboid forms flow.
Ticking, hissing, whispering.
Tiny sounds amplified, bigger sounds made quiet.
