For their 75th anniversary, they commissioned Baltimore-based experimental electronic music duo Matmos to make an LP using the record label's back catalog. WETA Arts and host Felicia Curry met Matmos outside the Hirshhorn Museum to delve into their creative process. Join us on this journey of sound exploration, creativity, and curiosity. Discover more about Matmos and the Smithsonian Folkways catalog, where you can access a world of unique music and sounds.
