 Matt Davignon
is an experimental/ambient musician living in Oakland, California. Originally born in Agawam, Massachusetts, Matt Davignon has been developing his own unique form of improvisation (for better or worse) since 1994. He spent his formative music years locked in a
garage in Sonoma County, California, tinkering with tools such as lo-fi samplers, cassette tapes, contact microphones, household
objects, extensive chains of guitar effects, prepared instruments, and field recordings. These explorations continued as he moved to San Francisco in 1997, then Oakland in 2001.
Since 2004, most of his work has involved processing the sounds of a drum machine in real-time with various devices. Characteristics of his music include a focus on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections, with a focus on evoking biological systems.
On some occasions he can still be seen playing turntable, cassette tape recorders, live samples of other musicians or 'the bucket of
crap' - an assortment of non-musical objects and toy instruments.
“…improvisational and refreshingly untutored approach to electronic music making.”
