Matt Wellins
Matt Wellins (b. 1983) builds analog electronic instruments. This work is influenced by the materially contumacious practices of David Tudor and Michael Johnsen and emphasizes the particularities of electronic components, the snafus of live performance, and general ambivalence toward commercial equipment.
Concurrently, Wellins fosters interests in the experimental loft theater of 1970s New York, early American shape-note singing, and magnetic recording for reasons not altogether unrelated from the above. Wellins has presented his work–most notably in collaboration with 16mm filmmaker Sarah Halpern–at venues such as Anthology Film Archives and EMPAC. Along with Johnsen, he maintains the Electronic Music Resource at Ubu.com.
