08.02.08 New review of Simple City in dbMagazine:
"It came as a surprise to learn that this is only the second album from Melbourne electronic artist Matt Archer (aka Bogenschutzer). Although seemingly simple, the 12 tracks on 'Simple City' are refreshingly subtle...." more
17.01.08 The piece Battery (3 movements) written for Salzburg Elektronikland 2007 is now available as an mp3 download on the music page or here (20MB).
03.01.08 Just finished the clip for the track Simple City, filmed in Melbourne last year.
24.07.07 Review just posted on inthemix.com.au:
"Simple City is anything but simple as Bogenschutzer’s assured approach to composition ensures that each piece is imbued with nuance for the listener to gradually unravel...." more
23.07.07 Simple City is officially released in Australia & NZ today through Stomp, so pop into your local music store and pick up or order a copy.
Off to Austria in a couple of weeks, so won't be any updates here until end of September now (computer is off in a box on a ship!). For any up to date news visit: www.myspace.com/bogenschutzer
15.07.07 Couple of new reviews for Simple City: Igloo Magazine: "Over twelve tracks, Melbourne's Matt Archer, using acoustic and electronic elements, arranges simple (but not simplistic) songs, each one a joy of melody and percussion..." more. 3D World:
"It’s hard to pinpoint Bogenschutzer’s style, but whatever it is, it makes me feel very Zen...."more.
06.07.07 Being interviewed on Triple J Soundlab this Sunday night with Fenella Kernebone (July 8) at 11.15pm, so tune in or listen/stream online here.
30.06.07 New review in the July edition of Canadian based textura.org "There's something a little bit old-fashioned about Simple City, the second album from Bogenschutzer (Melbourne-based electronic composer Matt Archer), but the observation shouldn't be interpreted as a negative critique. Created from electronic and acoustic instruments, the album is a thoroughly well-crafted suite of twelve seamlessly-connected songs...." more.
20.06.07 Great news!: Simple City will be exclusively distributed in Australia and New Zealand through STOMP entertainment (released 23rd July). Looking forward to working with STOMP.
Also got a review on musicforamerica.org website (click on the link to read).
Busy organizing a move to Salzburg, Austria in August for a couple of years. Will be looking at working on some live shows there to promote the album. Looking forward to being based in Europe, some exciting music opportunities...
And thanks to Tim Ritchie for the airplay and kind words on RN Sound Quality on June 1, and to Hugo at RRR (frank) for some wonderful track combinations!
