Lone (musician)
Lone (Matt Cutler) is a British electronic musician from Nottingham, United Kingdom.[1][2][3] Lone has released four full length albums, Everything is Changing Colour in 2007, the critically acclaimed Lemurian in 2008, Ecstasy and Friends in 2009 and Emerald Fantasy Tracks in 2010. He also has released five EPs entitled Cluster Dreams, Joyreel/Sunset Teens, Pineapple Crush/Angel Brain, Once In a While/Raptured and Echolocations EP,[4] released in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Lone has been quoted as saying that the greatest influences on his music are artists such as Boards of Canada and Madlib. He also admits a fancy for the music of Rustie and Hudson Mohawke[5] , and says that fellow British musicians Keaver and Brause and Bibio have had an effect on the way he makes his music.[6]
Lone’s 2008 release Lemurian is his most critically acclaimed release to date,[7] 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.
Before taking on Lone as a project, Matt Cutler played in the electronic duo Kids in Tracksuits with his friend Andy Hemsley. The duo has since broken up, and have no plans of getting back together. Cutler also plays in the side-project Kona Triangle when not working on Lone.[8]
