The Wisdom to Know the Difference (WTKTD) is Matthew Daher’s electroacoustic solo project exploring the limits and possibilities of control and agency on both sonic and spiritual levels. Using Ableton Live, contact mic drum triggers, and samplers, Daher processes acoustic drums and vocals, blends them with lush textures, and triggers other sonic events from the drumkit at varying degrees of randomness. Song-structured webs of intended and unintended sonic consequences emerge in generative, genre blurring compositions that draw on ambient, jazz, art-rock, freak folk, and hip-hop influences. Daher has performed the project in over 25 cities across the eastern US and Canada, including performances at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
