Matt Davignon is an
experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since 1993, he has
focused on developing his own unique style of music, which is largely characterized by
organic textures, arrhythmic patterns, musical imperfections and occasional elements from pop music.
Historically, he has worked extensively with fx pedals, household objects, live sound collage,
consumer-grade electronics, prepared instruments, real-time sampling/looping, turntablism,
field recordings and cassette recorders.
Since 2004, he has been working almost exclusively with a drum machine, which with his array of effects devices becomes an unusual synthesizer for making gloopy and biological sounds. In addition to playing solo and in various ad-hoc groupings with other improvisors, Matt is a member of the band Tiny Owl , as well as the Crank Ensemble. He is the founder of the Pmocatat Ensemble. He's active in organizing experimental & unusual
music performances in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to being
responsible for such events as The San Francisco Found Objects Festival,
and regular DroneShift concerts, he’s one of the curators for the
Luggage Store Gallery Experimental Music Series. |
