Matt Clark Music

Matt Clark is an improvising guitarist and composer based in Brighton, working across experimental music, free improvisation, contemporary composition and collaborative performance. 

His work explores chance procedures, twelve-tone frameworks, graphic scores, systems-based composition and extended guitar techniques, seeking unexpected musical relationships beyond conventional harmony and melody.

He performs with a range of ensembles and collaborations, including Larker with pianist/violinist Annie Kerr, Simian Carbuncle with guitarist Adrian Southby, MC3 with trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe, and duos with cellist Khabat Abas and percussionist Mark Wastell. These projects have informed an evolving practice that combines open improvisation with structured compositional frameworks.

An active member of Brighton’s Safehouse collective and a regular participant in London’s Mopomoso improvised music series, Matt has performed extensively with leading improvisers and experimental musicians.
