Bio Text (feel free to chop\/edit\/alter)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chad R. Matheny has been making music since 1998, often under the name Emperor X<\/a>. After training in physics, philosophy, and music composition, Matheny paused academic work and spent much of the past two decades crossing the world on buses and bullet trains to perform hundreds of concerts or compose at locations ranging from a symphony hall in Portugal to the basement of a garden supply shop in Pittsburgh to an abandoned trade fair dome in northern Lebanon. He often tours alone with a guitar and synth, but sometime shares bills with fellow travelers including The Hotelier<\/a>, The World is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die<\/a>, Foxing<\/a>, AJJ<\/a> and Xiu Xiu<\/a>. To date he has released eleven albums and more than a dozen odd-format tour-only EPs and one-off singles. Music from some of these recordings appears in the soundtrack<\/a> of the of the 2014 Warner Bros. film Veronica Mars<\/em> and has been featured on national radio outlets including Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg<\/a> in Germany and National Public Radio<\/a> (three<\/a> times<\/a>) in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He co-produced the Sub Pop album Bits<\/em> by jangle punk legends Oxford Collapse<\/a> alongside Eric Topalski of Don Caballero and Storm & Stress. He has composed video soundtrack music for labor unions and non-profit organizations including Planned Parenthood<\/a> and SEIU<\/a>. In 2011 and 2012, Matheny\u2019s ambient work Keeling Curve<\/em> was used in a multimedia installation by photographer Joel Sternfeld<\/a> that was featured in a retrospective exhibition at Museum Folkwang<\/a>. In addition to his nascent cooperative label project Dreams of Field Recordings<\/a> with The Hotelier\u2019s Christian Holden, he has worked with several labels including Burnt Toast Vinyl<\/a>, Tiny Engines<\/a>, and Bar\/None Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matheny is a resident of Brieskow-Finkenheerd, a former East German power plant town east of Berlin on the Polish-German border. He is also one of the owner-operators of Donau115<\/a>, an important node in Berlin\u2019s active jazz\/new music\/songwriting scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
