So Percussion is known for exploring the expressive possibilities of
percussion. The sound art duo Matmos (M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel)
makes live performances and recordings using the sounds of everything
from amplified crayfish nerve tissue, to the pages of bibles turning,
to a bowed five string banjo. Riley Lee has made over fifty
commercially released recordings since 1980, which are sold worldwide
on a number of labels.
