Kaffe Matthews

Kaffe Matthews is a British composer and sound artist from Essex. She makes and performs live electroacoustic music, starting from the violin and moving into live sampling and electronic improvisation. She is known for site-specific live works and for listening devices she builds herself, such as the Sonic Bed and the GPS-driven sonic bikes of the Bicrophonic Research Institute, which she co-founded with Dave Griffiths. Matthews was an early user of the LiSa live sampling software developed at STEIM.
