"Virtual violin virtuoso" (THE WIRE)

Essex female Kaffe Matthews has been making and performing new music and working cross discipline via all kinds of digital gadgetry around the world for the past ten years. The music is vast, sculpted into textual landscapes, vibrating technohymns, through her on stage processings with LiSa (Steim software), sometimes with choice selection of random material via carefully located outside microphones. She introduced the course Performance Technology to Dartington College of Arts (91-95) and has worked as a director with the London Musicians' Collective and Sonic Arts Network. Matthews has worked with Christian Fennesz, Pansonic, Jon Rose, Butch Morris and Charles Hayward. Further, she owns the label Annette Works, where she released her CDs cd Ann and cd Bea.
