The Morning Line owes its inimitable verve to the inherent qualities emanating from Matthew Ritchie’s complex vision. It encompasses disciplines that are poles apart, uniquely asking questions that keep me enthusiastically working on its next manifestation. As it now travels to Vienna it captures other imaginations, engages diverse creative energies, all of whom seemed fascinated and intrigued by it. We all see the magic!

Matthew Ritchie’s love affair with physics runs deep. He was so engaging in our conversations over the last few years, that even I started to dabble in popular science. Most of them introduced scientific concepts not always comprehensible to a layperson like me, but Matthew weaves them into a seductive array of mysterious formulas, drawn from a deep personal fascination and knowledge of the subject.

Bringing The Morning Line to Vienna was essential to me because Vienna has such a vibrant electronic music scene, which remains largely under-supported by the official agencies in Austria and the music industry. I wanted to draw attention to this huge pool of talent, and to further lend my support to the many artists and musicians who become inspired by this project.
