1) 80s synth-pop band Anti-Matter… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands named Antimatter.
1) 80s synth-pop band Anti-Matter formed by Xopher Davidson.
2) United Kingdom dark rock band Antimatter founded by Mick Moss. The project was originally a duo composed of founding member Duncan Patterson (former bassist/songwriter of Anathema) and Moss, being essentially an amalgamation of two solo projects working in tandem with each other, with each member writing and arranging their songs alone and compiling them in the studio later on to create an album.In this manner the pair released three albums together, Saviour, Lights Out and Planetary Confinement, after which Patterson left, in 2005, to start another band Íon. Moss continued Antimatter as an extension of his own timeline established throughout the first three discs, releasing the project's fourth album Leaving Eden in 2007. Followed Alternative Matter, Fear of a Unique Identity, The Judas Table, "Too Late", Welcome To The Machine, Live Between The Earth & Clouds, and, most recently, Black Market Enlightenment in 2018.
Xopher Davidson Anti-Matter
Xopher Davidson began his experiments in electronic sound from a basis in painting, film, and installation art, mixed with a long-time interest in electronics. While in primary school he learned to construct simple circuits, removing the components from old televisions and playing with step-up transformers. In 1985 the naively extremist project Jesus Wept was formed by James Chandler, John Hong, Will B. Gavin, and Davidson, beginning an era of tape manipulation. An electronic side project with James Chandler resulted in the (in)famous cassette release, Climatron. While attending school in Richmond, Virginia, Davidson completed the short black and white films Hess and Positioning Device, significant for its soundtrack of modulated full-frequency noise. He also started work on the trilogy of recorded sound pieces titled "Reflector," "Primer," and "Number," which was completed in 1990. Also during this period, Davidson performed with the noise fusion group 45-102, demonstrating an advanced position on sound in one public appearance. Presenting his work in numerous shows, he co-curated a major infrastructuralist show at the Henry Street Gallery. Davidson received a BFA degree in painting and sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1991.
In 1992, Davidson rode the train to Oakland, California, where he founded the seminal Exhibit < > space. In this storefront location (situated adjacent to a freeway onramp), he presented an ongoing installation of signs and diagrams which his paintings had evolved into. Listening here to the rumblings of the overhead freeway, it became obvious that the issue of sound needed to be (re)addressed. A year later, Davidson began work at the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College in Oakland, California. Here he performed and recorded sound in many forms, presenting three concerts of electronic music while working on his MFA. At this same time, Davidson constructed a trilogy of experimental 16mm films at CCAC's film studios, to be overlayed with sound developed at the CCM recording studio. As a member of the live electronic groups Citizen Band and Circular Firing Squad, he performed extensively in and around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest. Davidson continues to collaborate with David Kwan performing their audio visual presentations, a mixture of order and decay, and are currently working on a series of DVD translations.
As an audio engineer, Davidson has worked on projects by/ for: The-Allies, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Diamanda Galas, Jhno, Zbigniew Karkowski, Lloop, Once 11, Hannah Marcus, Paul D. Miller, Mix Master Mike, Pepito, Phoenecia, The Soft Pink Truth, Jonah Sharp, Otto Von Schirach, Subtropic, Themselves, Tipsy, We, and Iannis Xenakis, to name a few.
In 1999 Davidson released the antimatter recording Transfixion on the Artifact label. In 2001 he released the influential infrasonic recording, Function Generator, in collaboration with Zbigniew Karkowski, on Portugal's Sirr.records. His 2003 release for asphodel antimatter vs. antimatter sounds the depths of 15 years of his experiments with recording, leading the concept of remixing into an unknown expanse. Davidson continues to conduct experiments in sound and image in his backyard workshop, The Treatment Center.

Dream
Antimatter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Immersed in light, broken in flight,
Here comes that scene again,
Not another sleepless night.
Scripted yet stuck on every line,
Upon my face a look of pure surprise,
I thought I'd be fighting fire.
How it's changed from my dream,
Did I stray from the path laid out for me?
How it's changed,
Did I fail in some way?
Easy to plot a course divine,
A simple graph can't cover ever line,
and I don't see what I don't know.
Some truths are harder to perceive,
The color has been drained now from my eyes,
Staring into endless time...
The lyrics of Antimatter's song Dream tell a story of a person who had a dream about how their future was going to be, but that dream is shattered as they wake up to the harsh realities of life. The opening lines, "Immersed in light, broken in flight, Here comes that scene again," describe the shocking revelation that what the person is experiencing is a recurring dream that always ends in being awake and disappointed that it was just a dream. The line "Not another sleepless night" refers to the insomnia that is caused by constantly being haunted by the same dream.
The next lines, "Scripted yet stuck on every line, Upon my face a look of pure surprise, I thought I'd be fighting fire," refer to the disappointment that the person feels about their current situation compared to what they thought their life would be. They feel as though they were handed a script that they must follow, but they are not able to improvise or stray from it. The line "I thought I'd be fighting fire" refers to the expectation that the person would be able to handle any challenge that came their way but they are now experiencing a sense of powerlessness.
As the song progresses, the person begins to question whether they have failed in some way or whether they have not followed the path laid out for them. They begin to realize that life is not as simple as plotting a course and following it, and some things are harder to perceive. The final line, "Staring into endless time," refers to the sense of hopelessness that the person feels as they contemplate their current situation.

Immersed in light, broken in flight
Here comes that scene again
Not another sleepless night
Scripted yet stuck on every line
Upon my face a look of pure surprise
I thought I'd be fighting fire
How it's changed from my dream
Did I stray from the path laid out for me?
How it's changed
Did I fail in some way?
Easy to plot a course divine
A simple graph can't cover ever line
And I dont see what I dont know
Some truths are harder to perceive
The color has been drained now from my eyes
Staring into endless time...
