Metamatics
About
Metamatics (also known as Norken and Nacht Plank) was formed by Lee Norris and Dominic Kennedy. Similar to the fragile melodies of µ-Ziq but with an emphasis on spare dowtempo breakbeats and crispy percussion, Norris and Kennedy debuted on Clear with four EPs during early 1997. Their debut album A Metamatics Production appeared in April of that year.
After Kennedy's departure, Lee’s Neo Ouija followed in 1998 and released more than thirty records until the end of 2005. With influences ranging from detroit techno to modern classical music, the releases on Neo Ouija always shared a melancholic, yet playful vibe. On the Japanese P-Vine label. Metamatics resurfaced with Spook Tinsel Shoal and Project Unison (the latter a collaboration with Clatterbox).
