KAFFE MATTHEWS
The Ripley
Bryan Eubanks (b. 1977, US) develops his music through solo work and collaboration. Since 1999 he has participated in many short and long term projects, and regularly presents his work internationally. Continually active in a variety of contexts: improvisation; composing electronic and acoustic works for small ensembles, solo instruments, computers, and electronics; organizing and curating concerts for other artists; building electronic instruments. He currently lives in Berlin.
Kaffe Matthews pioneering music maker who works live with space, data, things, and place to make new electroacoustic composition, her past has taken her through things such as midi violin, theremin, star maps, NASA scientists, sharks, children, solo walks and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to create a massive body of works for sites such as concert halls, city streets, basement clubs, radio, galleries, deserts, living rooms, and the human body. The physical experience of music is also key to her approach so she also invents unique interfaces such as the sonic armchair, the sonic bed and a range of sonic bikes which offer new paths into composition for makers, and ways in to listening for wide ranging audiences worldwide.
Today she is focused on dangerous unknowns improvising with space, audience and a new modular instrument, the Ripley. A noise filter system designed through the 12 Gates of alchemical discoveries made by the 15th century alchemist George Ripley, backfeeding and live sampling throughout.
