Sieben is the one-man, violin-looping work of Matt Howden. He beats, plucks, thumps and sings into a poor violin that he really shows no mercy to. Very occasionally he’ll play it like a normal violin. There’s nothing normal about Howden, we can assure you. “A Sieben show is like a one-man whirlwind with a violin” Sonic Seducer Magazine, Germany “bringing us driving rhythms, vocals as intense visions and charming landscapes, loop by loop building a shining star-way over the Abyss, to our dreams.” MJR Festival, Lithuania “Matt Howden writes songs for voice and violin, feeding both into a loop station to build up layers of sound. At even the most fundamental level, his work links acoustics and electronics” Adrian Ainsworth- Specs Blog, UK Performing and releasing as Sieben, Matt has played over 1,500 shows 35+ countries across the world, and released 13 studio albums to date.
