Janek Schaefer and Stephan Mathieu

Janek is a composer based in London and one of the most gifted sound artists of our time.
Please visit audiOh.com for more info on his work.

Massimo Ricci wrote about our CD Hidden Name:

“Stephan Mathieu and Janek Schaefer have created music that really made me feel moved by a special kind of grace, and that also touched me very deeply. To be listened to for many decades to come, “Hidden Name” should be an example for many pretenders, a good reason to put laptops away and start listening to life itself.”

Our new project is based around live processing of the ringing voice of a 19th century Columbia Phonoharp zither and the classic indian Shruti Box’ endless harmonic drone.

JS: shruti box and loop pedals
SM: phonoharp and computer
