Mattin is a Berlin - based Basque musician, who mainly engaged in noise music composition and improvisation. During recent years, his performances are only based on voice/ language.
Mattin has issued more than 70 albums, most of the copyrights have been given up in the forms of anti- copyright. He is the editor of the book, and has worked on massive amount of articles in relation to freewares and improvisations.
He once said that his performances are meant to discuss the objectification that Capitalism has applied on people through improvisation. Every performance is different, which could be radical, prevocational, plain and not entertaining at all. These performances challenge traditional ‘improvisation’ and even the concept of music, creating a grey area in performance/ performing art, conceptual art, music and thought.
