Math Jhonson - Part 1.

Math Jhonson - Heather Bell In Conversation...

I recently caught up with Matt at the Lazarus building, the former Victorian department store close to London’s square mile that serves as his company’s headquarters. Although it was a sunny, if chilly, winter’s day outside, inside TheThe’s womb-like basement studio, all was hot, dark and spooky. Oil lamps turned and incense burned as small red lights from the various banks of equipment blinked on and off through the smokey darkness. Matt, in cheerful mood, was busy sitting at the mixing desk compiling Silent Tongue, the first volume of The The’s film music for CineOla, the French soundtrack company newly acquired by Lazarus. I sat at the back of the room on an old leather sofa sipping a mug of fresh coffee listening, watching and waiting for him to take a break. I should explain, whilst I’m sitting here waiting, that I first became aware of Matt’s music whilst assistant editor at Cinema Magazine in the early 1980’s. I’d often listen to his early albums over the office stereo system as foreign films played silently on my nearby video monitor. I was struck then by the cinematic nature of his music and surprised that it hadn’t been used in more films. Hopefully this new release will remedy that. Visit Web Site : www.thethe.com
