Notes: The Lappetites is Eliane Radigue (France), Kaffe Matthews (UK), Antye Greie/AGF (Germany) and Ryoko Kuwajima (Japan). "Before the libretto" is the Lappetites' first release.
The Lappetites was spawned from an evening Kaffe Matthews curated at Tonic, New York, April 2001 where o-blaat, Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins, Marina Rosenfeld and herself played a 45 minute set. Matthews: "All electronics players, not only did we have this ridiculously new situation of improvising with a bunch of just girls, but the potential that evening inspired made it obvious that this format could be the start of this live electronics band idea. And so The Lappetites came into being."
ELIANE RADIGUE was born in Paris. She studied electroacoustic music techniques at RTF under Pierre Shaeffer and Pierre Henry, later becoming Henry's assistant at the Studio Apsome.

In 1997 she established the label Annette Works, releasing the best of these events on cd. Matthews makes site-specific sound works live, playing in the dark in the middle of the space, the audience surrounding her, the sounds moving around them. She uses self-designed software based matrices through which she pulls, pushes and reprocesses sounds live. She also collaborates and has worked and performed with many artists worldwide including Zeena Parkins, Sachiko M, Ikue Mori, Marina Rosenfeld, Pan Sonic, Oren Ambarchi, Alan Lamb, Christian Fennesz and pan-European electronics orchestra Mimeo. http://www.annetteworks.com
