On the evening of Friday, April 3rd, we proudly featured composer/guitarist Matt Sargent (NY), composer/improviser/multi-instrumentalist Shoko Nagai (NYC), experimental electronic musician Rob Funkhouser (IN), and experimental electronic musicians David Reed and Ty Owen’s duo project Fatal Gaze (CMH).
About the artist:
Matt Sargent is a composer, guitarist, recording engineer, and music technology specialist based in upstate New York, where he is an assistant professor of music at Bard College. His music grows from resonance, memory, the making/breaking of patterns, and computer models of musical thought. Working between the concert stage, the recording studio, and the code box, Sargent’s audio technology has been called “a veritable fountain of intensifying, kaleidoscopic spumes” (Peter Margasak, Bandcamp). Over the last decade, his work has focused extensively on musical algorithms and real-time notation systems, which can be heard in his compositions and technical collaborations with other artists.
