Matt Clark

Matt Clark is a guitarist and improviser based in SE London.

His work sidesteps traditional notions of harmony and melody, instead exploring the random and unexpected within improvisation around twelve tones, and the sonic possibilities of unorthodox techniques.

Long standing projects Simian Carbuncle (with Adrian Southby) and MC3 (with Charlotte Keeffe and James Edmunds) have proved fertile breeding grounds for experimentation, whilst recent collaborations with Annie Kerr and Toma Sapir as Larker, and a duo with Gus Garside (Arc, with Sylvia Hallett and Danny Kingshill, and the Ron Caines/Martin Archer Axis project) have led to ideas for frameworks, leading to more structured improvisations.

He regularly performs in Brighton and London with a number of collaborators and ensembles, and is a regular participant and member of Brighton’s Safehouse collective.
