Matt Biddulph's foray into Eurorack synthesis is a testament to the DIY spirit that animates much of the modular synthesis community. In his performance at Piqued, Matt harnessed the Monome Grid, bringing order and control to the often chaotic world of Eurorack cabling. His custom modular case—partly filled with modules he soldered himself—speaks to a personal journey in electronic music, from the UK's rave era to a hands-on engagement with sound creation.

The essence of Matt's setup is a blend of self-built modules and carefully selected manufactured ones, reflecting a deep commitment to understanding and shaping electronic soundscapes from the ground up. His background in electrical engineering not only empowered him to take on the challenge of DIY module assembly but also instilled a profound appreciation for the tangible connection between creator and creation, a sentiment echoed in the joy of hearing a self-built oscillator buzz to life for the first time.

Matt's approach to Eurorack synthesizers emphasizes the individuality and personal expression inherent in modular setups. No two systems are the same, each reflecting the unique musical journey and aesthetic preferences of their creator. This performance at Piqued showcased not just Matt's technical prowess but his philosophical approach to music production—valuing hands-on interaction, improvisation, and the endless possibilities of modular synthesis.
