Matthew Ryals
Primarily working with a modular synthesizer, his music encompasses improvisation, generative composition, chance, cybernetics, unfixed forms, and experiments in manifold archiving. Tiny Mix Tapes has described his music as “filter[ing] the emotion of the human experience through the cold circuitry of electronics”.
Recent accolades include a '22-'23 New Music USA Award and a '21 IEA Electronic Media Residency. He has released on Oxtail Recordings (Sydney), SØVN (Turino), sound as language (Carolinas), dingn/dents (Seoul), Post Season Franchise Records (NYC), Low Hanging Fruit (Cologne), and Behind Glass (NYC) & other labels. He’s the co-curator of the Brooklyn-based experimental music series, Artifact.
