Craque
Craque AKA Matt Davis improvises with amplified objects and hand-made instruments, combining them into textures controlled through loopers, effects and delay units. Timbres are carefully derived from homebuilt analog synths, metallic hand percussion, DIY sound creation devices, cactus tines, rattlesnake tails, and just about anything else that may happen along.
Though raised in the folk environment of the southern US, living in the urban areas of Chicago and LA caused a natural magnetism to dance music and electronica, steeping an experimental mindset in a convergence of groove and beats. Realized mostly in post-production remixing and composts, collages of song forms and through-composed miniatures have become his most widely heard work under the moniker Craque, with music released on Audiobulb (Sheffield, UK), as well as several netlabels including Stasisfield and Test Tube.
