About PLEXUSPLAY

PLEXUSPLAY combines EDM energy, virtuosic live vibraphone, immersive 3D animated motion graphics, and live audience participation to create a live dance music experience unlike any other. The brainchild of Matt DiBiase, PLEXUSPLAY’s sound integrates color bass, melodic house, lush harmonies and live improvisation to produce a show that’s as dazzling as it is impactful. From emotional interludes, to playful choreography, to heavy headbangers and stunning solos, PLEXUSPLAY’s shows offer something for everyone.

Matt began studying xylophone at age 6. His hunger for learning has led him through rigorous conservatory training, electronic music production and animation workflows, and even neuroscience publications working at Harvard Medical School. Matt’s many talents make him a well-rounded composer and an unbounded music technologist, and his skills have garnered him performances at major festivals like Lightning in a Bottle, Electric Forest, Beyond Wonderland, and Burning Man as well as support roles for touring artists like Louis Cole and Japan’s #1 billboard sensation Koshi Inaba.

In addition to music festival shows, PLEXUSPLAY often incorporates interactivity between his instrument, visuals, and the audience with tools like Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner, and Ableton Live. In 2023, Matt debuted a custom application at TEDxSanDiego allowing the audience to choose their own adventure through his real-time multimedia experience. Matt is continuously developing new technologies for his show, with movement and interactivity as the central pillars of PLEXUSPLAY.
