the one-man band that is matt middleton. using a variety of instruments (all the usuals along with clarinet and studio baffonary) middleton produced a bunch of self-release tapes in the early 90s, before flying nun released the inner city guitar perspectives compilation in 1996. matt has since made a bit of an underground name for himself due to an exorbitent release schedule and a oddly compelling noise-tainted lo-fi and electronic manipulation.
middleton landed in christchurch (from invercargill) in the mid-90s, befriending drummer-supremo and general guy-in-the-know on underground music duane zarakov – eventually becoming a member of the live spacedust crew. again relocating – this time to dunedin, and forming the rock-assault squad the aesthetics middleton grew more and more prolific, with american cd-r label mental telemetry releasing a series of his cd-r’s.
