Matt & Mike's Bizarre Musical Experiments


Matt Sommers Everything  
Mike Herndon Everything  


Active: 1991 - 1992

Notes: M&MBME was a completely experimental band, concerned with indetermency and other Cagean concepts. They produced two bodies of work, one of complete deconstructionist noise (Synphony of Various Noises) and one of more organized chaos (The Problem with Harry). Never playing live, they chose to face their demons in the studio, often playing prepared instruments, electronic toys and found objects such as water and metal pieces.
