About Me

Double Bassist and Music Technologist

Robert Matheson performs solo works for double bass and computer. Seeking a more fluid interaction between acoustic and electro-acoustic music, he designed and built the MIDI bass. His setup allows him to perform live electro-acoustic music while maintaining the integrity of the natural, acoustic sound of the bass. Robert holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in bass performance from the University of Arizona where he studied with Patrick Neher. He has performed with ensembles representing a wide range of musical genres, including the Ironwood Duo, Portable Masterpieces, and the Tucson Chamber Orchestra. Robert lives in Saint George, Utah with his wife and three children. He teaches at Dixie State University and performs in the orchestra at Tuacahn Center for the Arts.
