TEL QUEL (Matthew Gammon), is a Tokyo based Producer, sound designer, and DJ. Growing up in the Midwest U.S., he started experimenting with music at a young age, being mostly influenced by industrial, neoclassical, dark-ambient, New-Age, glitch, & the melodic side of Psychedelic rock. After backpacking around various countries and gaining influence from various forms of Ethnic & Traditional music, his focus shifted more towards Ethno-fusion (i.e. Desert Dwellers), and what can be described as Panoramic Ambient & Psybient music (i.e. Aes Dana, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Astropilot) heavily influenced by ethereal field recordings, evolving pads, and glitchy rhythmic sections. Having established MEKKA in 2010 in Tokyo as an underground space to explore live ambient, ethno-fusion, and psybient music, Tel Quel has gone on to perform at such festivals as Rural, Dance of Shiva, and Re:Birth.
