I just saw these guys do this set in Portland and it was fucking amazing. It was a live art piece no question. They tapped into that moment when you just start tapping on something while doing some completely mundane task just to entertain yourself and then before you know it, a half hour goes by and you wonder where the hell you just went as you get totally sucked into some kind of vacuum time warp. Amazing stuff. Go see them.

[@circuitpounders]

Even better than the record....... brilliant these guys........

I was watching wintergarten earlier and was like its so rare to hear the typewriter used as an instrument, then I remembered matmos and here I am listening to the only time someone has played the washing machine live!

[@aminxalili]

this is the craziest thing I've ever listened

[@ipazilla]

I saw these guys at day for night festival in Texas. It was one of the best things I heard that weekend which is saying a lot.

[@stockholmsyndrome420]

matt mcdonough Same, it was very impressive. But it still didn't hold a candle to Oneohtrix imo ha

[@stockholmsyndrome420]

matt mcdonough Going again this year? Lineup is even better this year, imo. Minus the fact there's no Aphex Twin of course lol.

[@Konggary1]

Is there sheet music available for this?

[@Ulf2601]

Yeah, Its the damn Washing Machine Mannual

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

Consult a Maytag or Whirlpool troubleshooting guide. The answers lie within.

[@shaktisinghchauhan1127]

Now I look at my washing machine more respectfully...even when it's not working properly !
