Creative Listening LP

Creative Listening is the second LP by Metamono following on from their 2013 debut album With The Compliments of Nuclear Physics.

Kicking cheerfully against the compression and conformity of the modern digital age, antique futurist analogue wizards metamono return with their finest, fittest album to date. Comprising Jono Podmore, aka Kumo and sometime collaborator with Can members Irmin Schmidt and Jaki Liebezeit, Paul Conboy and fine artist Mark Hill, the Crystal Palace based trio enchanted audiences during 2014 with their live soundtracks to Secrets Of Nature, early 20th century short films using new photography techniques to reveal the processes of the natural world including the lives of cuckoos and barn owls. Many of the pieces they wrote feature on the new album. It was an ideal fit for the metamono sound - organic, playful, basking in the joys of new mechanical possibilities.

Recalling the early electronic adventures of Raymond Scott, Brian Eno, Cabaret Voltaire, Cluster and acid house but always bearing their unmistakable bespoke signature, metamono are as unmissable live as they are on vinyl. Do not miss this!

The first Metamono vinyl release
"technopop from another planet of the imagination, its regular and irregular patterns exuding a rounded warmth, a dimensionality missing from so much of today's electronica with its brittle, brand new, built-in obsolescence. This sort of durability doesn't come first-hand" David Stubbs

Bambino Lives

a C30 live cassette
Since Summer 2011 Metamono have occasionally taken over the wonderful and arcane "vintage emporium" that is Bambino in London's Crystal Palace and transformed it into a bizarre yet strangely apposite performance space. The Metamono instrumentarium sits comfortably among Bambino's antique bric-a-brac and hidden treasure, as does the makeshift bar-cum-merchandising stand, even the operatives themselves appear to be permanent fixtures. These sold-out nights have become the stuff of Crystal Palace legend and never fail to produce their own magic: "The strangeness at a Metamono gig, initiated by their methods, their eccentricity, their spontaneity, is infectious… creating all kinds of mutations and deviations from the usual neural pathways and behaviour patterns. 'One time, a couple of kids started free-running up the side of a building,' recalls Jono. 'It affects the audience. It sets people a little freer.' Liberation technology, indeed."
David Stubbs, The Quietus
