I’m Matthew Piecora, also known as EZBOT, a Seattle-based artist and educator specializing in hardware electronic music. In my compositions, you’ll hear sounds inspired by ’90s alternative rock, deep house, techno, and jazz. I use experimental live-coding, samplers, synthesizers, and sequencers to bring a sense of nostalgia to modern music technology.

When I’m not jamming on my synthesizers and drum machines, I work in Bitwig Studio, where I’m currently a certified trainer. If you’re interested in lessons, I offer private one-on-one sessions over Zoom (with a video recording provided). You can also hang out with me and the rest of our community in my lively EZBOT Discord server.

I’m also the owner of Modbang.com, a boutique synthesizer-inspired online store where I offer unique cables, synthesizer stands, niche clothing, and more.
