His music grows out of an appreciation of natural resonances, recursive structures, computer modeling, and outdoor listening. His work has been described as "so simple and so natural, and yet sets up a complex set of interactions." His interests are often focused on the movement of bodies of water, tides, erosion, and musical analogues to natural processes. In addition to the documented spaces and environmental recordings heard in much of his electroacoustic work, natural materials also enter his acoustic music in tangible ways. This new work will incorporate ​processed field recordings from the Buffalo region and of the Hudson River –sounds from the industrial lakeside in Buffalo and of the rural quiet of the river.www.mattsargentmusic.com
