dot.matrix (with stereo sound) is the music project of herbert weixelbaum, markus schrodt, michael tucek and stefan schauer, focusing on lofi electronics, micromusic and chiptunes.
the group's primary instrument is the nintendo gameboy, with old computers like the atari st and the commodore 64 also being put to musical use. while dot.matrix's choice of instrumentation may seem nerdy, the compositions are well-suited for a wider audience. the tracks - sometimes harmonic, sometimes dissonant, often cracking, most of the time danceable - possess a pop appeal that's both charming and universal.
live, dot.matrix surprises audiences with an intense and full sound -- an interesting contrast to the toys in the musicians' hands.
