Following the recent announcement of Mathame’s new chapter in their creative universe, NEOLOGY, the duo now reveals a show to kick things off. On December 27, they will take the stage in Beirut, Lebanon, for a spectacular performance. NEOLOGY fuses sound, story, and cinematic design, coming to life for the first time on stage and marking the launch of the project’s first chapter.
This new chapter will officially come to life on December 27, when Mathame present NEOLOGY Chapter I in Beirut — the first-ever live performance dedicated to the saga. The show will mark the global debut of NEOLOGY as an immersive visual experience, projecting the beginning of the storyline through Mathame’s signature audiovisual language.
As Mathame describe it: “NEOLOGY is the narrative universe behind our festival-scale NEO show — a world where the audience doesn’t just watch, but becomes part of the story. It explores humanity’s relationship with natural and artificial intelligence, touching on themes like quantum computing, bioethics, hacking, and the cultural value of sound, liberation, and rebellion. In this dystopian future, people are losing their ability to feel, overwhelmed by constant neural stimulation.
Anyone who enters NEO becomes a rebel in this new world. For us, NEO is a celebration of a possible ‘emo-technology’ — a space where human emotion and technological advancement collide. This idea is embodied in NEO, the meditating cyborg who stands as a guardian of humanity.”
With NEOLOGY, Mathame invite listeners deeper into their world, where electronic music becomes mythology and live performance becomes a gateway into a fully realized cinematic future.
Mathame, the Italian brothers Amedeo and Matteo Giovanelli, are pioneers of EmoTech – a movement where emotional storytelling meets futuristic sound and technology. Shaped by a background in classical music, hip-hop, and cinema, they create immersive productions that blend melodic techno with cinematic depth.
Their debut album MEMO introduced NEO, a monumental art project and narrative world representing a new ritual of sound and light. Its story unfolds through NEOLOGY, a parallel audiovisual show – a non-linear, anime-inspired film projected during their live performances. Together, NEO and NEOLOGY form a unified universe exploring the sacred, the futuristic, and the emotional.
With innovations like Old Neural Mixtape Vol.1 — an AI-powered project for Apple’s M1 chip that reimagined DJ mixing and evolved into a groundbreaking 3D live show — Mathame continue to blur the boundaries between music, technology, and immersive art. From their BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year to performances at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Hï Ibiza, they stand as visionary storytellers.
