Matt Davignon Releases SoftWetFish


Soundwave>Series' Matt Davignon releases new CD "SoftWetFish" on venerable Bay Area's experimental label Edgetone Records. SoftWetFish is Matt's second CD to use drum machine as the only sound source (after 2005's "Bwoo"). Not at all like the rhythms and beats one would expect, the sounds are very abstract, characterized by organic tapestries, drones, frantic passages and lovely flaws.

"..it’s twisted sound manipulation, distorting a number of doctored instruments to create a sound that’s sometimes spare and crackling, alternately taking turns into what ’70s kraut rock may have sounded like to dolphins — fragile and gorgeous and stubbornly weird." - Michael Harkin, San Francisco Bay Guardian
