Matthew Runciman Musician
Bio:
Matthew Runciman is a Canadian Troubadour and Musician based in the United States. Over the past year, he has begun to collaborate heavily with his partner Danielle Galietti in a project known as The Bull and Arrow. Since 2014, he has performed in 45 of the 50 states across the US at the wheel of Trusty. In December of 2018, Danielle and he were invited to two artist-in-residence programs in Iceland and in April of 2019, they were awarded the Denis Diderot Grant to attend the Chateau d'Orquevaux artist-in-residence program in France. In the Summer of 2019, they were based out of Missoula, Montana as part of the Western Montana Creative Intiative's Pilot Open artist-in-residence program. As of September, they have been invited to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts artist-in-residence program; once again as part of The Bull and Arrow collaboration. Interested heavily in the non-traditional, Matthew has been working with the Universal Frequency, or the Solfeggio Frequency (432Hz), in order to exist more harmoniously with the world that surrounds.
Vehicle:
Trusty moves slowly and at his own pace. He ebbs and flows as the road sways. He vehemently prefers two lane back country roads to the Eisenhower Interstate System. He prefers camping alongside the Pacific Coastal Highway to the Midwest or Deep South. Every time Trusty makes it back to New Jersey, he locks up his windows in an act of protest. His best friend is an orange cat named Ginger and they enjoy talking philosophy. Often times Trusty waxes on poetically about his favorite Modernist Art, to which Ginger responds lackadaisically, "Meooow". And so he goes...and goes...and goes...
