3’x3′ minimum space on the stage or floor to set up his instrument and pedal board comfortably
Cushioned stool or cushioned armless chair that is 20″ – 23″ tall
Single grounded, USA style plug at 110v-120v. This plug should be within 2′ of where Matthew will be set up. If there is no plug near by, stage-colored extension chords may be used
Sound:
A stereo PA is Ideal. Matthew uses effects and techniques that take advantage of stereo imaging
Full Range Sound System. Matthew sends deep “kick drum” percussion, bass lines, mid-range sounds, and higher frequency sounds all from a single stereo audio source
Stereo XLR Mic Level Inputs. Matthew uses a Radial ProD2 Stereo DI that is built into his pedal board. All sound comes out of this stereo output. Left and Right XLR and Mic Level, so pre-amps are required on the mixer for both channels
A talk-back microphone; SM58 or similar on a boom stand is required for talking to the audience. Matthew does not sing
A single Stage-Monitor for Monitoring
Lighting:
Ambient multi-color wash lighting for the background, with focused spotlights where Matthew is seated
Matthew enjoys allowing people creative freedom with lighting, as long as it is not distracting from the performance
Green Room / Musicians Lounge:
A simple quiet place to change and rest with a couch, or comfortable chair is sufficient
