Biography
Matt Middleton (otherwise known as Crude), is a founding member of The Aesthetics and later part of the live Space Dust ensemble.
From the mid 1990s till the mid 00’s Middleton was an incredibly productive musician, with a distinct approach to lo-fidelity, trash-electro or screaming noise. Over the years his music has traversed a catalogue of genres, and has brought a distinct sound (not to mention, shedloads of humour) to every style he tries.
Middleton relocated to Melbourne in 2011, and although he initially thought he’d found his haven, this eventually led to a decreased musical output.
