Marc Matter
Marc Matter started DJing in the mid-1990s, when he was a co-founder of artist's collective Institut für Feinmotorik. Around 2000, studies in sound art and experimental composition with Anthony Moore and being in the orbit of A-Musik in Cologne. There, he also co-ran GrüeziKlub (with Shumi and Okinawa 69) at Gewölbe Club.
When Salon des Amateurs (Düsseldorf) opened, Marc became part of it, as a resident DJ and inviting artists of a large bandwidth (from Water Lily and Plastique du Reve to Sound Stream, Die Vögel, Matmos, or Black Dice).
Since around 2010, a new field of sound creation is at work: sonic poetry and word composition, where language turns into sound and music. Many works for broadcast and some releases emerged from that, a work that is ongoing, demonstrating a strong curiosity about the connection between language and music, sound and sense. This is the more experimental side of Marc's work, materiliazing in recordings and live-shows.
The rest of it — two more paragraphs
As for DJing club music, he re-entered the scene since 2025, playing regularly at Salon des Amateurs and at the new-found series Acephalic Headspace as resident.
Since the beginning, an important aim was to mix historic and contemporary music and sounds, as well as selecting across genre boundaries, additionally including odd noises, field recordings, or spoken word to the sets. A strong influence was – and still is – experimental music and sounds that transgress the definition of music.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2025, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- Bar NeunJan 2026 – Apr 20262 nights
Three of the 5 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
Institut für Feinmotorik and Voiceover have stood on 1 of these bills each. They are the two people Marc Matter is, so they are named here rather than counted as company. — their aliases on Resident Advisor
