Biography
Matthews is from Good Easter in Essex, England. She played the violin from the ages of 6 to 16. She returned to music a few years later when she began to play her own original material, as opposed to the written compositions she had always played on the violin.
While in college, she joined the Fabulous Dirt Sisters, an acoustic band that she traveled and played with for four years. After her time with the band, she found a job as an engineer at an acid house recording studio in Nottingham. Here she was introduced to the sampler, which she took on boeard. However, she was interested in the computer glitches and accidents that would produce unexpected sounds rather than in the sampler’s capacity to create rhythmic music.
Initially she returned to the violin, using a midi violin and a sampler to perform, but later performing using a laptop computer.
Matthews holds several degrees, including a Distinction for a Masters in Music Technology, and an Honors degree in Zoology. She introduced and taught a performance technology course at Dartington College of Arts.
