Matthew D. Gantt is an artist, composer, and educator
based in Troy, NY. His practice focuses on sound in
virtual spaces, generative systems facilitated by
idiosyncratic technology, and digital production presets as sonic readymades.
He worked as a studio assistant to electronics pioneer Morton Subotnick from 2016 - 2018, and has been an
active participant in the international creative community, presenting or performing at spaces such as Pioneer Works, Issue Project Room, Roulette, Babycastles, SVA Visible Futures Lab, Feral File, IRCAM, Mutek Mexico, ICST Zurich, and countless DIY venues and grassroots organizations.
Gantt releases music with Orange Milk and Oxtail Recordings, is a member of New Museum's NEW INC creative incubator, and has taught experimental
composition at both institutional and DIY spaces, including NYC non-profit/public media studio Harvestworks, CUNY Brooklyn, Bard College, Sarah Lawrence, and a variety of community workshops aimed at creating equitable access
to developing technologies.
Gantt’s work has been featured in The Wire magazine,
Pop Matters, Exclaim!, Tiny Mix Tapes, Bandcamp New
and Notable and similar.
