Kaffe Matthews was born in Essex, England, and lives and works in 
London. Since 1996 she has been making new electro-acoustic music 
through a system of self designed software matrices through which she 
pulls and pushes different sounds live. The variety of sounds, things 
and places she has worked with have ranged from self played violin and 
theremin, sounds of spaces, kite strings on an uninhabited Scottish 
Island, flight data from NASA scientists, Scottish and Irish pipers, 
melting ice in Quebec, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, vibrating 
wires in the West Australian outback and recently a Vietnamese monochord 
and seaside sounds processed with 11 year olds to be dispersed by 
visitor pedalled bicycles. She has just returned from a month of working 
with sharks and conservation scientists on the Galapagos Islands.

 In 2006 she established the collective research project music for 
bodies  <ttp://www.musicforbodies.net/%22>, making music to feel rather 
than just listen to through specialist sonic interfaces. With 
the Worldwide Bed project 
<ttp://www.musicforbodies.net/wiki/What_is_the_Worldwide_Bed_Project%3F%22> intending 
to build its seventh Bed, her research is now developing outdoor 
concrete Benches in Hackney, with the first now permanently installed in 
Mexico City.

Kaffe continues to regularly collaborate, and was an Artistic Advisor to 
STEIM, (electronic music studios) Amsterdam, NL. Her 2004 
collaboration Weightless Animals 
<ttp://www.weightlessanimals.com/%22> was awarded a BAFTA, she received 
a NESTA Dreamtime Fellowship in 2005 and an Award of Distinction, Prix 
Ars Electronica 2006 for the work Sonic Bed_London 
<ttp://www.musicforbodies.net/wiki/InstrumentLab%22>. In February 2006 
she was made an Honorary Professor of Music, Shanghai Music 
Conservatory, China and in 2009 a patron of the Galapagos Conservation 
Trust shark project..
