About Me


dominantfiction.com
I'm Matt. I play music and draw and paint.
I try to make a new album every year.
I'm also an illustrator, and i make books.
I began dominant fiction seven years ago as a vehicle to produce the music of my friends and i. we are artists, musicians, designers, photographers, flash-kids, writers, illustrators, bicyclists, story-tellers, game inventors, book-fetishists, and chefs.
We employ a passionate DIY ethic in everything we do - hand-bound albums recorded / produced / mixed / packaged in the bedrooms of our homes.We like to draw by hand. We'd prefer to look you in the eye.
long ago i moved away from florida where i grew up. i used to play in a number of bands i formed with my friends, such as models to burn, nuemes, the loft party, the panic narrative, on recent non-events, and coatquills. you can find info on just about all of these on the website.i live in brooklyn now, and i'm still just taking in the city... its been one long inhalation thus far...
