About Gustavo Matamoros

Gustavo Matamoros is a Miami-based sound artist, composer and improviser with roots in experimental music. He views his art as the outcome of artistic experiments that use sound as a means to interpret reality in an auditory way, as well as to strengthen intuition and an ever-deepening connection with the world.

His work, presented in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia, includes sound installations and spatial performances, cross-disciplinary collaborations, free improvisation, and radio, video and public art. 

Gustavo Matamoros is a passionate advocate for the advancement of experimental music and sound art. He is the founder of the Subtropics Festival, one of the longest running experimental music and sound art festivals in the United States.
