Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since
1993, he has developed his own unique style of music, which focuses largely on
textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections. His first experiments
as a teenager involved using 2 boom boxes to layer sounds, combining household
objects, CD/tape samples and heavily effected improvisation on a variety of real
instruments. Since then, he has spent time studying (in a non-academic sense)
bass guitar, live sound collage, consumer-grade electronics, prepared acoustic
guitar, real-time sampling/looping, experimental turntablism, and field
recordings on handheld cassette recorders.
Nowadays, he works primarily with a drum machine. Instead of using it as a
rhythm device, he plays the pads manually while processing the sounds through an
array of effects devices and samplers, improvising music made of
organic-sounding textures, hums, gurgles and crackles. He also still plays
turntable in groups and ensembles.
