Matthews discusses her transition from a violinist to an electronic artist, specifically focusing on her Music for Bodies project. She describes her Sonic Bed as an architectural interface that allows the listener to experience sound through the entire body, rather than just the ears.
Much like Max Neuhaus, Matthews and Huberman discuss the "demise of the stage." They argue that sound art should be about presence and duration—allowing a visitor to walk into a sound and stay as long as they like—rather than a fixed temporal event with a beginning and an end.
