AboutSieben in a British solo-music project, created by violinist and singer Matt Howden in 1997.
He developed Sieben so that he can play live without any backing. He uses a loop pedal, a violin and his voice. He can start with a simple melody, add a bass part or two, some 'drums' by playing beats on various parts of the violin ('kick' behind the strings, 'snare' by slapping the body, and 'shaker' by scratching the pickup with his chin etc. etc.), harmonies and melodies over the top. Over this he sings and plays.
He uses his own name, Matt Howden, for his instrumental releases.
