   About Matecha
New Track Online: Don't Listen

Further tracks are, as always, in the works.

August, 2008: iPhone/iPod Touch game "Tap Tap Revenge" (one of the most popular games on that platform with over 1 million installs) now features music by Matecha, a new song titled "Tap It Up", available exclusively in the game! The song won 2nd place in a competition among nearly 200 entries. If you've got an iPhone or iPod Touch, go into App Store today, grab the game if you haven't already, and play the song in-game! If you don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can download a copy of the song from that site, or simply click here for direct download.



Matecha is the currently-solo music project of Andrew Matecha, a musician from Vancouver, Canada, who produces material of an electronic-industrial style. The music of Matecha features rhythm-driven tunes with strong melody and very synth-heavy sounds. Andrew has been writing, programming and recording songs digitally since 2001, after building a strong foundation of musical theory through half a decade of Royal Conservatory piano training. Andrew is also a founder and member of the industrial band FMTA, also based out of Vancouver.

If you're interested in collaborating in some manner, message me, or email at andrew [at] matecha [dot] net.

I'm also in the heavy-electronic-industrial band FMTA, also based in Vancouver. Check out our website and our myspace profile.

I'll consider doing a remastered version, then. We were working on a heavier version back in 2006, but I kinda dropped out of the habit of writing and had trouble adapting the format of the song to the heavier sound.
I should stick with the original shit, eh?

Nemesis is a good track, I might revisit that one with a new style.
I hope it's not necromancy to fuck with old, dead songs, hey?

That is pretty sweet. He was quoting a lot of Herbie licks in his improv but did you see his touch? Perfect. Yeah that's the same software I've been messing around with forever and I've been wanting to do some stuff live with it! Thanks for sharing.

Hey! How's it going?? What have you been up to?

We've just posted lots of photos from our crazy Phase 0 EP release party at the IVAR in Hollywood last month. Also we have another new song called Going Away on our page from the 17-track Waking Man album that will release when we kick off our U.S. West Coast tour in September right here in L.A. In October/November we're touring across the United States. We're booking our shows right now. It's pretty exciting!

Take care,
Jonathan
