biographical info
Matthew Breakey, aka
elevator boy composes aural art by exposing the listener to his
feelings in each song he creates. He truly defies all musical
boundaries, theories, patterns and forces the listener to images of
fear, grief, paranoia and also to sheer brightness, true happiness,
playfulness and at times the ultimate question – ‘who am I and
what is this all about?’ For music enthusiasts who need to
categorize music and artists, to them I say ‘good luck’. For
musicians who want to know how he does it, I have been fortunate
enough to enter the lair, the “studio” as it were and I can tell
you from experience, the music is made with some plastic toys, paint,
nails, wood, flowers, fluffy bunnies, lightning, tar, fire and a
stick of chewing gum. If you don’t believe me, just take a listen.
No other artist expresses themselves as much as Elevator Boy does in
each and every song he creates. His manipulation of sound is his
voice, which will not be found on any of Elevator Boys’ recordings.
Point blank, to even call his music, music, seems a little naff.
It’s art, pure and simple. It’s ageless. It’s fashion-less.
One hundred years from today it will sound as fresh or as ancient as
it already does. And he does it all, from the confines of his little,
delicate, glass elevator, going up and down, like his emotions, like
his music. – Aaron Milic (musician/producer)
