Artist Biographies

"Mat Watson is an Australian multi-instrumentalist working primarily with synthesisers and drums spanning experimental, improvisational and traditional forms. He is widely recognised for his involvement in large-scale unconventional orchestras and collaborations. He has played with Japanese underground legends Boredoms, conducted an orchestra for 40 synthesisers at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and worked with Bronx heavyweights E.S.G and Australian music icon Ollie Olsen among countless others. He runs Eternal Music Projects and spends available downtime at Imaginary Sound Fields disappearing into the matrix of his Synthi Aks and thinking about inner space and compression ratios."
