See Matt Davies' website
Matt Davies’ work is primarily engaged with the act of listening, live performance and the exploration of chance based composition via the prism of expanded cinema. Using DIY microphones, magnetic tape, abstract turntablism, micro sounds, modified projectors and hand processed film loops, he brings the moment and material of projection to the fore.

Past projects include, ‘By the Mark, the Deep’ field recordings from the submerged town of Dunwich, with Milo Newman. ‘Grit’ a 16mm optical sound film documenting an 18 mile walk along Chesil Beach in Dorset and ‘Brunswick Light Ray Process’ a research project using light to record sound. He is currently observing agitated bodies of water and playing with optical sound pendulums.

Matt Davies is an active member of BEEF (Bristol Experimental and Expanded Film) and his field recordings are part of the ICA Soundworks collection.
