Le Millipede is the moniker of Mathias Götz, a multi-instrumentalist and composer hailing from Germany, known for his eclectic and experimental approach to music. Götz’s work under the Le Millipede alias synthesizes an array of musical styles, including elements of electronica, ambient, folk, and neoclassical, all weaved into a distinctive tapestry that defies straightforward genre classifications. His compositions often feature an elaborate array of instruments—ranging from brass to strings, melodica to vibraphone—many of which Götz plays himself, layering sounds to create rich, textural harmonies.

Since the self-titled debut "Le Millipede" emerged, this musical project has captured the attention of listeners with its intricate, yet accessible arrangements. Releases like "The Sun Has No Money" display a penchant for philosophical musings turned into musical explorations, while "A Somewhat Stuffy Non-fiction Writer" offers a glimpse into Götz's whimsically introspective side. With each subsequent release, such as the whimsical "Legs and Birds" and the contemplative "8th Leg," Le Millipede continues to build a discography that reflects a journey through a vast and vivid sonic landscape, unravelling new layers and textures that prompt both reflection and enjoyment. The more recent offerings "Mirror Mirror" and "Neue Welt / Lenity" further affirm Le Millipede’s unique position in the contemporary music scene as a blend of the experimental and the harmonious, captivating a niche audience looking for music that speaks to the intellectually curious and sonically adventurous.
