Kaffe Matthews is a pioneering music maker who works live with space, data, things, and place to make new electroacoustic composition. The physical experience of music for the maker and listener has always been central to her approach and to this end she has also invented some unique interfaces, the sonic bed and the sonic bench that not only enable new approaches to composition for makers but give immediate ways in to unfamiliar sound and music for a wide ranging audience. Violin, theremin, wild salmon, star maps, NASA scientists and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra have all sourced this growing body of works. Awards include a BAFTA, a Distinction Prix Ars Electronica and she is the first woman to have received the Edgard Varèse guest professorship in computer music at TU Berlin. Kaffe has also been releasing solo works on her label Annette Works since 1996.
