Band/artist history
Control Freak is Tokyo-based music producer Matt Redding from England. His formative years were spent tearing up the fretboard as a metal guitarist, but when he discovered sampling he exchanged his axe for an Amiga. Inspired by his peers and electronic artists of the time and the expressive potential of the evolving new music tech, he began to experiment and search for the “new sound”. To his surprise, he found it on his bedroom floor, in between a Squarepusher CD and a worn out copy of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. He has been heavily influenced by the music philosophy of John Cage, the virtuosity of Paganini, the severity of Stravinsky and the austerity of Bach. More direct musical influences come in the form of artists such as Amon Tobin, Sneaker Pimps, Squarepusher and more recently Vex’d and Shackleton. However, he is very fond of mixing seemingly disparate genres to discover new and unusual forms of musical expression, including flamenco, jazz, tap dance, african drumming, Indian and middle eastern music etc. His latest project “Raqs Gothique” is a music/dance collaboration with belly dancers, for which he has been treating Indian and middle eastern drumming and vocal music with an electronic glitch style production, coining the phrase ethniglitch. Control Freak’s music is free to download, released under the Creative Common’s license by the net-label Heavy 7 Productions. Matt also is a co-founder of Laptop Battle Tokyo, a global music contest event for laptop musicians, which he brought to Japan with a hope to expose and promote undiscovered new music talent and to bring together Japanese and overseas artists. He continues to produce music and perform live in Tokyo.
