Hey everyone. Not one for good introductions so I’ll try to hit all the marks.
Name’s Matt/Matthew/Whatever you want to call me. I’m not picky.
I’m 21, currently based in East side WA, but I’ve lived everywhere between the Cascades and the Ozarks. Done work in freight, metal-pressing, ventilation, automotive, eco-hazard cleanup, list goes on.
Always been fascinated with art as well as machinery/electronics. It’s been a lifelong passion that I don’t think I realized until mid-2020. I want to bridge the gap between electricity and the human experience, like a reconnection of the soul or however fancy you want it to sound. Using machinery, algorithms, wave functions, datamoshing, any means of free range lightning to find a proper expression, or hopefully a release.
As of now, I make primarily visual (digital+traditional) art, as well as a lot of poetry, but I want to get into sound design and production as to utilize my visuals better through animation. I was trained in viola, violin, and cello, but am teaching myself in bass, guitar and various means of percussion. There’s too much to learn in a lifetime, but I’ll be damned if I don’t try lol.
I’m extremely inexperienced, but that’s the exciting part. Was browsing for a book by the same name as this website and I happened into here, so it seemed like a wakeup call to actually start trying. Any words are welcome; help, criticism, even just a chat.
This is all that exists of my portfolio in the meantime, everything else is scattered across dozens of folders on multiple hdds. [Images by glowypants (glowypants) - Lensdump]
Apologies for the length. Hope this covers everything.
Y’all take it easy, much love, and thanks for having me.
P.S. I am terrible with forums.
