MATTHEW SCHULTZ, LAB REPORT & PIGFACE

Matthew Schultz was a founding member of Lab Report. This dark ambient band included musicians such as Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Lydia Lunch and Chris Connelly. Schultz also designed 4 versions of the acclaimed A.T.G. or Anti Tank Guitar and utilized this instrument not only with Lab Report, but also with Pigface. In total Schultz has appeared on over 29 cds with 9 solo productions and 2 feature film soundtracks (Ivan's XTC and Snuffmovie) for Hollywood director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse, Immortal Beloved). Schultz has covered an extremely wide range of styles from dark ambient to blues to jazz.

​

In 2010 Matthew Schultz unveiled The Division. This sound project is a reconstruction of ancient spells and rituals reinterpreted aurally. With the  disc Mantras, Schultz  delved into the esoteric and ancient fraternal order of The Division. He has reinterpreted the traditional texts and scores of the order to create a beautifully dynamic and sometimes disturbing disc that synthesizes world music, dark ambient and magic or Matgick. Mantras is the first in a trilogy of discs that express all the aspects of The Division.

​

Schultz latest release is Mandalas. The album contains binaural beats buried in the mix. These tones aid in meditation and dream states.  The numbers represent two frequencies that, when subtracted from each other, create a low frequency otherwise known as a binaural beat.
