Matthew Goodheart

Stanford University Department of Music

CCRMA Stanford Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics

With his work described as “An exacting and fascinating meeting of art, music and science” (Jazzwise) and “extraordinary listening experiences” (Westdeutsch Zeitung), composer, performer, and sound installation artist Matthew Goodheart interleaves live performance and immersive sound environments in a hybrid world of composition, improvisation, interactive electronics, and spatial sound installation. Utilizing a technique known as “reembodied sound,” in which instruments are actuated via tactile transducers so that they appear to sound autonomously, he investigates the interrelationship between acoustics, space, sound production, and technology. In this concert, he will present a set of recent solo works combining transducer-actuated metal percussion and piano in an evolving series of eclectic and ethereal soundscapes.
