Matthew (b. 1991) is a data scientist, information designer, electrical engineer, photographer, and musician who is interested in designing playful frameworks to help spark individual and community growth and expression.
He makes abstract, beat-driven electronic music as part of the audio-visual duo Dayspired and is a current partner at Rhythm Section International (London, UK), where he is being mentored by record label founder Bradley Zero (DJ at BBC Radio 1, NTS Radio, Boiler Room).
Most recently, Matthew has pursued his MFA in Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) after receiving his MS in Data Science from Brown University. He is a graduate researcher at Brown’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab, and the head teaching assistant for the class “Machine Learning and Design.” He is currently looking for engaging and rigorous full time data science, design, and systems engineering work (either remote or in-person) dealing with high-impact social or environmental problems.

SPATIAL PERCUSSION THROUGH MOVEMENT
Spatial Percussion is an expressive musical composition tool which uses hand gesture to enable the real-time positioning of percussive sounds in spatial audio (ambisonics format). The project was born out of the desire to compose a spatially-located percussive beat through movement. All drum sounds were recorded manually. The project was programmed in Max/MSP.
