Even an unknown composer such as Bogusław Schaeffer can become the focus for the electronic manipulations of Drew Daniel and Martin C. Schmidt, the Baltimore duo who work under the moniker of Matmos. Utiilizing a sample of Schaeffer’s music made at Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES), which was established in 1957.
From a technical point of view, the practices of institutions like PRES are similar to what many contemporary electronic artists like Matmos do – sample the work of others and then reuse and remix the ‘found’ material in different compositions, adding rhythms and grooves to experimental sounds.
