Matthew lives atop a mountain on the eastern continental divide. He grows over a dozen fruit and nut trees. Ever year, he plants more berries. He has been bitten by a copperhead and would not recommend it. He also makes music and art under the name XOR.

XOR is a regular collaborator with the Swannatopia experimental art club. Many great artists have made music videos for the tracks on his upcoming album Present Tense. Matthew has also made a couple of them.

XOR is a type of logic gate. It is pronounced "ex-or", not "zor." Matthew picked the name when he was learning computers because it was more flyer-friendly than "Fuck Jamz," the name he was previously recording under. While aesthically nice in print, he regrets not choosing a more easily pronounceable name.
