On Ghost Notes, John Matthias and Jay Auborns latest album, the British duo take their experiments with sound to new levels, catapulting their work into unexplored territories of human-robotic collaboration.

Matthias and Auborn first partnered for the 2017 release Race to Zero. The album, and the soundtrack to the feature film, IN THE CLOUD (starring Gabriel Byrne) and the soundtrack to BROADMEAD (Stanley Donwood & Mat Consume) which they have collaborated on since, makes evident the musicians mutual desire to push hard at the boundaries between physical and digital sound worlds an exploration they had been pursuing individually for years. Combining his expertise and interests in science and sound, the composer, violinist and physicist, John Matthias is known for blending tradition and futurism in his music.

His work has taken the form of pioneering research on Neuronal Music Technology as well as 4 acclaimed studio albums and numerous collabo-rations with renowned artists including Radiohead, Matthew Herbert and Coldcut. Jay Auborns assiduous work in musical engineering, which takes sound as yet another malleable material to be played with, has made him into a sought-after musician, record producer and sound artist working on everything from large-scale sound installations to film music. Between their shared passions and complementary skills, the musicians found a unique and undeniably bold synergy. Ghost Notes continues to be driven by this force; for the album, John Matthias and Jay Auborn gave their computer limbs and unleashed its agency, improvising alongside this new band member to create mini electronic symphonies.
