*300 copies limited edition* The Matar Project is a collaborative venture between Adi Newton and Michael Esposito which began in early 2016 and has been steadily progressing and developing since. This research and developmental Audio Visual project is based on Archaeoacoustics and aims at finding aspects of Archeological and astrophysical theories in relation to Ancient systems
of Spirituality, Metaphysical beliefs and concepts and explores these relationships with psychoacoustic technology, with the use of frequencies and by utilizing these concepts in to Audible and visual pieces that transcend conventional Description. This new album release is based on these theories, experimental sound research and a collection of visual films to illustrate and expand the conceptual basis for use in live performance events.

"The collaboration between Newton and Michael Esposito, pioneer in EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) research, he investigation of apparently non-human voices captured through electronic instrumentation has occasionally attracted contributions from celebrated artists who have influenced Newton's trajectory. Newton's commitment to scientifically rigorous sound research, particularly through his work with T.A.G.C., has been well-documented, and Matar serves as the progenitor of this approach. Like Cybele in Greek mythology, the project embodies a wholly immersive methodology, as evidenced by the album's title and accompanying scholarly booklet, which establishes the foundations of archaeoacoustics, the study of acoustic properties in archaeological sites and artifacts, and their relationship to the civilizations they represent.

The album opens magnificently with "Homme Verde," a mysterious composition that weaves field recordings with melancholic undertones, featuring a hypnotic piano motif, scattered percussion, and ritualistic elements, all enveloped in cosmic atmospherics. "The Hurlers & Quintessence" maintains the esoteric mysticism with fragments reminiscent of choral masses, unyielding rhythmic passages, distorted vocal elements, and metallic textures that honor the work's dedication to Z'EV, seamlessly flowing into the second track.

"Lyrae Shadow Constellation (The Pipers)" offers a spatial ambient journey and notably features the only recorded contribution from electric violist Sarah Rosalena Brady, who participated in Matar's early incarnation. The album's latter half explores deeper sonic territories: "The Henge Resonator" builds from subtle vibrations into an ominous undercurrent, while "110 Hz State The Maze Pattern" generates ethereal dark ambient textures that dissolve into persistent drone formations. This release represents a mature synthesis of Newton's archaeological interests and electronic experimentation, offering both scholarly rigor and visceral sonic experience." - Paolo Bertoni
