Music For Bodies




Music For Bodies is a NESTA funded research project initiated by Kaffe Matthews, focusing on the construction and exploration of new instruments in order to create sonic experiences for both body and ears.
A series of multidisciplinary think tank meetings has been taken place to identify possible directions for the project, with the core team consisting of architect Alex Haw, music artist Kaffe Matthews, and musician and programmer David Muth. One of the team’s main research strains focused on how to combine the experience of the body, space and sound, with the aim of establishing a compositional vocabulary for “Music For Bodies” instruments.

We Are Car


We Are Car employs a running motorbike engine controlled via MIDI as a musical instrument in order to record and subvert selected rock classics, exploring parallels of emotional thrills induced by acceleration, speed and rock.
The project’s final outcome eventually manifested itself as a CD release, with each CD being accompanied by an especially commissioned perfume based on motor oil - the launch event took place at the ICA in September 2006.
We Are Car has been a collaboration with Chris Lum aka Xper.Xr, funded by the Arts Council England.
