Artist Keynote with Mat Watson
REGIONAL ECHOES: From yabbies to freeform synthesis
FUSE is proud to present our first Artist Keynote with musician Mat Watson.
REGIONAL ECHOES: From yabbies to freeform synthesis is a compelling discussion of Mat’s journey from growing up in rural Victoria to discovering a life in music, modular synthesisers and experimental sound.
The event provides an opportunity to gain unique insight into the career and creative journey of one of our best local artists and provides a platform to explore a body of work articulated by the artist themselves.
The keynote is followed by a Q&A and wraps up with an opportunity to network in the foyer afterwards.
