Mat P. Jarvis is a British electronic musician, who released one full-length CD and several other tracks on the Em:t Records label under the name Gas. Jarvis later released material under the name "Jarman".^{[ citation needed ]}

Jarvis' work as Gas is often mistakenly credited to an alias used by unrelated German electronic musician Wolfgang Voigt.^{[ citation needed ]}

His album Gas 0095 , which includes "Microscopic", "Experiments on Live Electricity" and "Discovery", is noted for the inclusion of the track "Timestretch", which is rumoured^{[ by whom? ]} to be a complete four-minute track shrunk down to one second.^{[ citation needed ]}

Em:t Records went out of business before the follow-up album Gas 2298 could be released.
