Lone (musician)
Lone (Matt Cutler) is a British electronic musician from Nottingham, United Kingdom.[1][2][3] Lone has released two full length albums, “Everything is Changing Colour” in 2007, and the critically acclaimed “Lemurian” in 2008. He also has released two EPs titled “Cluster Dreams” and “Joyreel/Sunset Teens” [4], both released in 2009. Lone’s third full-length album is set to be released in the summer of 2009, and is titled “Ecstasy And Friends”
Lone has been quoted as saying that the greatest influences on his music are bands such as Boards of Canada and Madlib. He also says that fellow British musicians Keaver and Brause and Bibio have had an effect on the way he makes his music.[5]
Lone’s 2008 release “Lemurian” is his most critically acclaimed release to date [6], receiving compliments from critics and even a few musicians as well. British electronic musician Bibio has been quoted saying “Lone has something that I think is very healthy for an artist to have in this age of Myspace music and the vast array of underground labels, and that's a strong identity - I could spot a Lone track by hearing one or two bars, he has a personality in his music that is vivid. I reckon that Lemurian could provoke synaesthetic reactions in those who don't already have the condition, that is, its character seems to extend beyond the sonic domain into some other sensual domain.”
