Matt Heckert
San Francisco based sound artist Matt Heckert's "MECHANICAL SOUND ORCHESTRA" is an ensemble
of kinetic machines, conceived and fabricated to generate sounds that surpass regular orchestral
instruments in visual dynamics and acoustic ability. The MSO creates a theatrical event through a
range of instruments and compositions that incorporate the specification of its performance site. In
its instrumentation from the rhythmic section to a string part and virtuoso soloists the MSO reaches
its goal of a kinetic sound sculpture.
