Bio:: Keyboardist Ed Matthews began Noise Level in 2004 as an ethno-ambient electronic sound project. The objective is to create music that exists in recorded form, yet lends itself to improvisation in a live setting. Noise Level's first disc, The Liquid Sky, was favourably reviewed in both Scene and Exclaim. A few weeks later, it climbed to the #3 position in the CHRW Radio Western’s Top Thirty Countdown. Liquid Sky: Remixed followed in summer 2010. In early 2010, Noise Level was nominated by CHRW Radio Western listeners for Local Album of the Year as well as the London Music Awards in the Electronics category. Noise Level won in the Electronics Category at the 6th Annual Jack Richardson Music Awards in London, Ontario. Conceptual Continuity was released in early 2010 and debuted in the #1 position on Radio Western's Top Thirty Charts. It was eventually nominated as one of 2010’s Local Albums of the Year. The disc also caught the attention of London Free Press Entertainment Editor James Reaney, who featured Noise Level in his weekly column “Reaney’s Pick” on April 11th. In June 2010, Noise Level was featured in an interview setting on both “Eargasm” and “Radio Renegade,” and played two live-to-air sessions of new and improvised music on CHRW Radio Western. Now, This Island Earth, radically transforms earlier material into stronger, beat-driven “live” tracks. It also serves to highlight Mr. Matthews’ developing skills as a composer, keyboardist and producer. Noise Level continues to push toward an Impressionist blend of ethnographic World beats and lush electronic textures – and a Romantic longing for the Infinite.
