   About Matt Davignon
Originally born in Agawam, Massachusetts, Matt Davignon has been developing his own unique form of improvisation since 1993. After moving to California as a teenager, he spent his musically formative years tinkering with tools such as lo-fi samplers, cassette tapes, contact microphones, household objects, 4-track compositions, extensive chains of guitar effects, prepared instruments, and field recordings. These explorations fuel and inform his current work, which most frequently involves processing the sounds of a drum machine in real-time with various electronic 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, bass guitar, cassette tape recorders, live samples of other musicians or 'the bucket of crap' - an assortment of household objects and toy instruments. Matt has organized events such as the San Francisco Found Objects Festival and Sound/Shift Oakland.

Hey Matt!! We had fun playing LSG.
What are you doing now?
This is Fred and I playing a Mambo! I have turned into a little wooden bunny rabbit. And the JP-6 is squealing away in delight in the background.
