Mat Eric Hart, born in London in 1988, is a British artist, producer, DJ, and field recordist now residing in Provence, France. His work delves into field recording, acoustic ecology, soundscape composition, and sound design, deeply rooted in listening to and connecting with the natural world. Hart has traveled globally to capture sounds that embody the true spirit of the environments he encounters, channeling nature, rituals, folk culture, and sacred spaces into hyper-realistic, meditative compositions. His works are held in the British Library Sound Archive's World & Traditional Musics and Wildlife & Environmental Sounds collections. In 2021, he was a finalist in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s “Sound Of The Year Awards” and was nominated for the 2022 Phonurgia Nova Awards' Field Recording Prize.
