Langford, Matthew / Andrew Weathers: Stipple (Editions Glomar)

A site-responsive duo recording from trumpeter Matthew Langford and saxophonist Andrew Weathers, using an emptied pool's reflective acoustics to shape a restrained and textural free improv of breath, resonance, and ambient detail, where sustained tones and environmental sound merge into a focused exploration of space, duration, and the physical limits of performance.

Artist Biographies

"Matthew Langford (he/him) is a sound artist, composer, trumpet player, and improviser living in Colorado. His work explores the embodied nature of things; of creature, substance, and place, co-creation, the obscuring of time and space, and the phenomenological mysteries of all that is in between.

Langford has composed for New York City's Brass Project and members of the Ossia New Music Ensemble, Carnegie Hall's Ensemble Connect, and the Colorado Symphony. His work has been described as "Effortlessly deep, but hovering..." by Australian composer Lawrence English, and has been featured in the Denver Film Festival, the Denver Digerati Experimental Media Festival, the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, and the Supernova World on Fire Festival. His collaborators have included visual artist Jeremy Grant, sound artists Tatsuya Nakatani, Jim Ruberto, Ryan Seward, and Andrew Weathers, caves, canyons, an empty pool, various creatures, objects, and memories, and a 400-gallon tank of water.

While he is at home in experimental spaces, Langford performed professionally in orchestras and chamber music settings for over a decade before shifting his focus toward composition, sound art, somatics, consciousness, and many other mediums. His creative process allows for intuitive discovery within conceptual design frameworks, often engaging with themes of transitional space, memory, impermanence, and the ways sound uniquely fills and interacts with its environment. His primary trumpet, one purchased for $500 at a used instrument store where he grew up in Central Florida, has remained a constant in his practice.

Alongside his artistic work, Langford maintains a sound meditation practice rooted in deep listening, psychoacoustic awareness, and shared space.

Langford holds a Master of Music degree and an Arts Leadership Certificate from the Eastman School of Music. His recent and upcoming work includes album releases on the Editions Glomar and Discreet Archive labels and a Creative Residency at the ATLAS B2 Center for Media Arts & Performance."

"Andrew Weathers (b.1988) is a composer and improviser originally from Chapel Hill, NC and currently based in Littlefield, TX. His work engages with notions of place, tradition, repetition, and spirit, splitting the difference between folk music and Land Art. Weathers studied composition at UNC-Greensboro and electronic music at Mills College in Oakland, CA.

A consistent presence in the underground music scene over the past decade, Weathers' work covers a wide spectrum from solo acoustic guitar to electronic noise. He also performs and records regularly with Tender Crust, Wind Tide, Satin Spar, Tamarisk, Llano Estacado Monad Band, Tethers and Real Life Rock & Roll Band. Weathers also produces recordings for the Full Spectrum, Other Minds, and Rural Situationism record labels, curates the Longitudes music series at CO-OPt Research + Projects in Lubbock, TX and works as a freelance mixing and mastering engineer."
