Using everything from record players to skipping CDs, field recording, found instruments and sampling, Me, Claudius captures the musical and rhythmic events that exist in the most unexpected places in our environment. A perverse sense of chaos in order seeps into the shifts and structures of her music. Her percussion is sounds just on the edge of familiarity, the creaks, buzzes and whirs that infiltrate our subconscious. From the murk they congeal again and again into dub-affected rhythms. As if a glitch has somehow skipped out of a machine and wormed its way into disturbing the real world.
Me, Claudius is an experimental musician living in a village in Southern England. She has released music on Dinzu Artefacts, Bezirk Tapes and Linear Obsessional.
“…rhythmic, oddly melodic (there’s a constant bassline throughout), and kind of like some epic concrète jam session in its own way. Above all, it’s pretty funny. Even in the manic lunatic fringe hinterland of Dinzu, she sticks out as a particularly wonderful weirdo.” - The Quietus on Reasons for Balloons
