Matthew Bennett
Matthew Bennett is a composer, sound artist and sensory designer pioneering the development of Musical Sensory Environments for immersive listening experiences.
With a background in art, technology, performance, and musicology, he seamlessly fuses different traditions, disciplines, and music cultures to create a unique and highly personal musical and sensory language. Integrating a range of ancient and modern compositional techniques with design models from the natural world, he weaves intricate, richly layered compositions and acoustic environments that foster a wide range of emotional engagement.
Working with extended forms that evolve gradually, and creating beautifully resonant sonic textures and acoustic spaces, his music often invokes a sense of ritual time—inviting listeners to slow down, experience their bodily engagement with sound, and consider their individual perceptions.
