Matt Borghi - Subterranean Bearings (2020)

Matt Borghi is a Michigan born & bred musician and producer. Deeply inspired by Detroit, Michigan and the Great Lakes, they are frequently reference points at the center of his work.

The last few years have found Matt performing a style of music he calls ambient guitar and fusing that with his work as a songwriter. Matt forged his distinctive guitar style by fusing his classical guitar studies, the jazz improvisation theories that he learned while attending Goddard College, Brian Eno’s ideas about ambient music and the idea of John Cage and Erik Satie. With a passion for musical improvisation and a belief in the healing, restorative powers of music, Matt makes each live performance unique and sonically interesting, so you’ll never see the same performance twice.

Matt’s has had a variety of musical projects through the years including his drone ambient recordings which have been featured on Echoes, Music from the Hearts of Space, NPR, BBC and CBC, his IDM group with childhood mate, Michael Goldapper, KOSIK , and his ambient guitar work with saxophonist Michael Teager.
