Matthew D. Gantt — Selected works (VR carnival of deepfake-horror-meets-cyber-optimism)

Carrier Records presents electronic sets by artists from their latest release Flash Crash + Remixes. Composer Jascha Narveson’s title track pairs cellist Ashley Bathgate’s laser-focussed playing with dense synths and drum machines, all driven by recycled stock-market data from trading-bots; remixes of the track by a diverse range of electronic artists (Matthew D. Gantt, Lorna Dune, Lainie Fefferman, Angélica Negrón, Vladislav Delay) complete the album.
Each artist will present a short set of their solo electronic work.
Limited tickets will be sold at the door. This is a 21+ event.

About Ashley Bathgate
American cellist Ashley Bathgate has been described as an “eloquent new music interpreter” (New York Times) and “a glorious cellist” (The Washington Post) who combines “bittersweet lyricism along with ferocious chops” (New York Magazine). Her “impish ferocity”, “rich tone” and “imaginative phrasing” (New York Times) have made her one of the most sought after performers of her time. The desire to create a dynamic energy exchange with her audience and build upon the ensuing chemistry is a pillar of Bathgate's philosophy as a performer. Dynamism drives her to venture into previously uncharted areas of ground-breaking sounds and techniques, breaking the mold of a cello's traditionally perceived voice. Collaborators and fans alike describe her vitality as nothing short of remarkable and magical for all who are involved.
