Matt Davignon's music is "fragile and gorgeous and stubbornly weird," according to the SF Bay Guardian. He's best known for combining drum machine with a variety of electronic processing devices to create shifting layers of organic and expressive sounds. For this set, instead of using effects, he'll be using only the features of the drum machine. Expect continuously changing oddly metered rhythmic constructions.





The Ruminations are a revolving door rapt absorption of the muse. They reflect, reminisce, analyze, explore, review, conclude, reason, second-guess, speculate, brood, dwell, and fixate to conceive the opine. They work to absorb and assimilate the positive from the broader sense of the universal truth that music is the healing force.


Cost: $10-$15 sliding scale
