Biography

MGMT (abbreviated from management) is a young Brooklyn group playing genre-bending psychedelic music. Initially it was a duet of Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser who launched this project in 2002 when they were students. When the guys met there was no intention expressed to become professional musicians. Nevertheless, both were beckoned by the idea of experimenting with music. This activity was spontaneously planned and held in different places without clearly set goals or schedules. The only instruments Ben and Andrew used at that time were their laptops to combine and modify their favorite cuts of selected songs by the chosen performers. Therefore the first pieces of their own music were purely electronic. Strange were the debut live performances by this duet. They were playing nothing, but singing in odd voices odd lyrics to undistinguished sounds. The music was provided by the computers, tape recorders and other devices to a great surprise of the audience. These genre exploration seemed real music tortures and humiliation to some of the spectators which put no question about gaining any popularity or amassing supporters.
