For our fourth edition of the Equilibrisme Podcast Series we proudly present you Altitude / Matt Thibideau.

Matt Thibideau is a Canadian producer, who has been involved in making electronic music since the late 90s. Originally from Wallaceburg, a small town located close to Detroit, and now based in Toronto, his first records as Altitude were released on Blue Recordings. Quickly, he began contributing to other local labels such as Chair and Cynosure Recordings.

In 2001, he started together with his twin brother Mark, a new project called “Repair” It was dedicated to all of the old broken synthesizers that they had in their studio. The first songs were quickly signed to both Sub-Static records (Germany) as “V-Wreck” and then Dumb-Unit records as “Black Line Display”.

Matt has performed live at several venues and festivals and focuses on using Analog and Digital hardware without a laptop. Throughout Matt’s Career, he has performed with the likes of Monolake, Deadbeat, Mike Shannon, Mathew Johnson, Daniel Bell, Krihan, S.I.T., Mike Huckaby, Octave One, Christina Sealy (Orphyx), Molly, Barbara Preisinger, Falko Brocksieper, Nicholas Jar, Eric Miller, Pantone, Akufen, Audio Werner, Raresh, Deepchord, Vera and Isolee amongst many others.

Matt & Mark started a small label called “Obsolete Components” based on using his old synthesizers and recording equipment. They were also featured in the documentary “I Dream Of Wires”.

Recently Matt has released both old and new music under the moniker “Altitude” for 7th city (Detroit), Assemble and Helena records , Vade Mecum and Irenic. In early 2018 Matt and Mark released a joined record for Joule Imprint in France called “Two sides” that followed a remix on Sushitech for Rhauder and Tikiman called “Stabilize”.
