Mat Eric Hart (London, 1988) is a British sound artist, field recordist and ethnomusicologist based in Provence, France.

 

His work explores field recording, ethnomusicological research, soundscape composition, folk culture performance and environmental awareness through a practice deeply rooted in conscious listening.

 

Two of his collections are held by the British Library Sound Archive: the Japan Collection (2019) and the first collection from Bioko, Equatorial Guinea (2025), made with the support of the Institut Français.

 

He has composed soundscapes for the British Library's Buddhism exhibition, the Parc naturel régional du Mont-Ventoux and Agence Canopée, and leads listening and field-recording workshops with Phonurgia Nova and the Bibliothèque départementale des Bouches-du-Rhône.

 

His recordings have been broadcast by the BBC and are published by Soundly and Artlist.
