He has also been commissioned by Edinburgh University to compose an electroacoustic piece for a project in collaboration with the late researcher Dr. Rebecca Collins and with the science department in UAM (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) as part of a research project on dark matter observation titled Energies not Forms not Figures (2022/2023). His sound work has had international radio play on radio shows including BBC Radio 3 Late Junction, NTS, Resonance Extra, Ars Sonora & La casa del Sonido on Radio Nacional Clasica in Spain, LYL Radio in Switzerland, FADE radio in Athens, and others.
Debut LP ‘Formosa’ was released on 24th March 2023 on Calling Cards Publishing.
“The composition’s subject is of my relationship to Formosa’s landscape; its history, its fauna, its flora and its magic. This is where my Germanic descendants emigrated to in the South of Brazil. The place is permeated with mystery, from its past, from its pious residents and from the land itself. Through the recordings I’ve made over the years I investigate notions of family, safety, emotional reciprocation with nature and what it means to belong.”
Adam Matschulat – Through the Cracks (2021)
“On ‘Through the Cracks’, Adam Matschulat uses his deft approach to musique concrete & electronic minimalism to carve a space of being: a sonic domain that comes to terms with entangled interior and exterior worlds. Both a meditation on time and upheaval, opening piece ‘Through the cracks’ begins with an overwhelming wall of opaque noise, before entering a wistful journey. Adam delicately renders his narrative in dream time, floating between ruminating keyboard motifs, tumbling aquatic sound worlds, the clatter of footsteps, the turning of a page, a tape player switching on and off.” – Takuroku / Cafe OTO
Other Musical Projects
Matschulat (noise, musique concrete)
“Matschulat offers a reverie through dramatic soundscapes filled with detailed nuances to disorientated junctures made of meticulously composed field-recording collages. Heavily inspired by Hyeronymus Bosch’s work and beautifully permeated with anguish, it is a piercing meeting of noise, musique concrete and acousmatic work.” – Heathen Harvest
Godasadog (alternative, trip-hop)
“Feelings of solitude, absence and longing are brought to the surface on Godasadog’s new single ‘Gaivota’.” – Tenho Mais Discos que Amigos
FMFL (dreampop)
“Functional Music for Lovers is the debut dreampop album from FMFL, if you’re looking for an electrifyingly cathartic mix, you’re in for an absolute treat, also a Theremin… who doesn’t love a Theremin?! The album progress with blissfully nostalgic tonality. Some of the tracks run a little more playfully than the more pensive tracks to the debut album, which gives the album a great diversity and makes it the perfect soundtrack to kick back to.”
