Forest Swords is electronic producer and artist Matthew Barnes, based in Liverpool, UK. Barnes is known for rewiring sounds into innovative electronic worlds. His approach to sound design has led him to work across multiple disciplines — from composing scores for contemporary dance and film to creating sonic installations and remixing artists like Björk and Thom Yorke. Drawing from a palette that blends dub, ambient, and industrial textures, his music carries a cinematic depth that bridges the emotive with the experimental. With critically acclaimed releases on labels such as Tri Angle and Ninja Tune, Forest Swords continues to expand the boundaries of electronic music through both solo projects and collaborative explorations.
