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.

The Last Laugh
Antimatter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I laughed you off a long time ago.
Your ever changing personality never fails to tickle me at all.
You said you were a white witch,
Reminds me of a movie that you'd seen.
Well can you still open doors with just your mind?
In this little space in time, I've played with better things.
Everything you done...
The foes that fought and lost - the fools that bore your cross - I still
remember all to well.
And it's all a state of mind.
I've seen you crave affection,
Affected minds don't work too evenly.
Well what did you call it when you stabbed me in the back?
And rewrote in retrospect lovers pain.
Where do you find redemption? Tucked away in pre-recorded dreams?
Do you wake each morning wondering when it came?
The experiments in pain no longer here in my world
The song "The Last Laugh" by Antimatter speaks about a person who once had power over the singer, but now the singer has the upper hand. The lyrics "And so you had the last laugh - ha ha ho... I laughed you off a long time ago" indicate that the singer has moved on, and no longer cares about the person who once had power over them. The person's ever-changing personality is something that the singer finds amusing, but not threatening. They mock the person for claiming to be a white witch and question if they can still open doors with their mind. The singer has played with better things and doesn't have time for the person's games anymore.
The song speaks about the memories the singer has of the person. They remember the games they said they won, the foes that fought and lost, and the fools that bore their cross. Despite the person's attempts to be powerful, the singer sees through the act and knows that it's all a state of mind. The singer questions the person's motives and wonders if they crave affection, but notes that affected minds don't work too evenly. They question where the person finds redemption, and whether it's tucked away in pre-recorded dreams. The singer is no longer affected by the person's experiments in pain and has moved on.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of empowerment and moving on from toxic people. It shows that the singer has grown and is no longer affected by the person who once had power over them. They see through the person's act and are no longer interested in playing their games.

And so you had the last laugh - ha ha ho...
You may think you have won, but I am still laughing at you.
I laughed you off a long time ago.
I stopped taking you seriously a while back.
Your ever changing personality never fails to tickle me at all.
Your constant inconsistency always amuses me.
You said you were a white witch,
You claimed to have supernatural powers.
Reminds me of a movie that you'd seen.
It sounds like a fictional story you picked up from a film.
Well can you still open doors with just your mind?
I doubt your supposed abilities are real.
In this little space in time, I've played with better things.
I have moved on to more worthwhile pursuits.
Everything you done...
I have not forgotten anything you did.
The games you said you'd won - I still remember all to well.
I recall your lies about your victories.
The foes that fought and lost - the fools that bore your cross - I still
remember all to well.
I remember those who suffered because of your actions.
And it's all a state of mind.
Your supposed power is all in your head.
I've seen you crave affection,
I know you seek attention and validation.
Affected minds don't work too evenly.
Those who are mentally unstable can be unpredictable.
Well what did you call it when you stabbed me in the back?
What was your excuse for betraying me?
And rewrote in retrospect lovers pain.
You changed the story to make yourself seem like the victim.
Where do you find redemption? Tucked away in pre-recorded dreams?
Do you believe you can find salvation in your own delusions?
Do you wake each morning wondering when it came?
Are you haunted by your own guilt and regret?
The experiments in pain no longer here in my world
I have moved on from the painful experiences I had with you.
