Panarea
2024 stock, rare private press LP. Plaintive and imbued with the Mediterranean-inspired air, wide-ranging, and undeniably erratic. Ramuntcho Matta could employ African tribal rhythms, discordant progressive jazz, pretty folky melodies, throat-stretching vocals, spoken poetry, channeling the sounds of improv jazz and numerous traditions across the globe, its experimental approaches stitch an emotive world that brims with tension and life
Songs Without Words And Music (Book)
Very nice artist's book by Ramuntcho Matta.
Météorismes
Ramuntcho Matta offers us a new vision of his music and, by extension, of his world. Time for oneself and for others. Of the raw and the real. Most of the tracks were recorded with a dictaphone, so as to stay as close to the music as possible. It's a return to basics and simplicity that reveals a voice that is both dense and sub-tile, husky and sensual. Ramuntcho Matta keeps his finger on the pulse, the instant, the present.

"Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue Brion Gysin's cult avant funk album produced in Paris by Ramuntcho Matta in the early '80s. The hugely influential Brion Gysin who, with his friend William Burroughs, was revered by the likes of David Bowie, Brian Jones, Laurie Anderson, Genesis P-Orridge, is accompanied here by Matta and French post punk stalwarts Yann Le Ker on bass (from the group Modern Guy) and Frederic Cousseau on drums (from Suicide Romeo) plus special guests including Don Cherry, Ell…

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the vinyl reissue of Ramuntcho Matta's rare first self titled album from 1985, mixing funk, no wave and ambient soundscapes. The album released on tiny French label Mosquito was conceived as the soundtrack for French choreographer Regine Chopinot's play "VIA" with costumes by fashion rising star Jean-Paul Gaultier. It was recorded at a buoyant time in Paris when Matta - who had just spent a few years in New York following the death of his brother Gordon Matt…
24 Hrs
The rarefied music of Ramuntcho Matta returns to Emotional Rescue with the first ever reissue of his album, 24 Hrs. Recorded in 1986 – the same year as his influential Ecoute... – the album finds Matta working in a less playful, more experimental framework but with the same ground breaking results. Again collaborating with a selection of accomplished players, 24 Hrs sees Matta (electronics, guitars, marimba, melodica, sanza, vocals) work again with Cacau de Queiroz (flute and saxaphones) and Eli…
96
The poet, producer and visual artist Ramuntcho Matta comes back to music with '96'. 96 – as 96 hours were needed to record this new album. Ramuntcho points out that behind this dazzling recording, years of experience enabled him to achieve the mix of spontaneity and intimacy of the album. He was the man behind the success of Eli Medeiros’ Toi mon toit. As a matter of fact, Ramuntcho Matta likes to put artists in the spotlight, as he has done with Brion Gysin, Don Cherry and many others. However …

It is a return to the roots and spontaneity that reveals a voice that is both dense and subtle, hoarse and sensual. Adopting the technique of Japanese painters - observe before creating - Ramuntcho Matta thought and matured these songs for months, until that precise moment when everything made sens…
Écoute...
Emotional Rescue explores the discerning, esoteric sounds of this French 80’s avant-garde obscure masterwork, realized by visual artist, sound designer, musician, label founder and emotional tree consultant Ramuntcho Matta. Diagnosed with autism at a young age. Therapy based on yoga and music set him on a path, leading to learn from the likes of composter Cuarteto Cedrón. Discovering avant-music at an early age, he moved to New York to study in the "Third Street School of Music", meeting John Ca…
the cat inside (+ B. Gysin, W. Burroughs)
An art installment in wich the artist has imagined the room 25 at the Beat Hotel rue Git-le-Coeur, where Brion Gysin and William Burroughs lived between 1957 and 1965. The room was an improvised center of intellectual and creative avant-garde. They used there tapes and tape recorders, they discovered through their work that language manipules us and that one can enlarge his perception fields using language. The question what is the use of a tape-recorder leads to the question what is the use of …
