ABOUT ME

Hi - I'm Matthew.
 

I am a multi-instrumentalist composer, conductor, orchestrator/arranger, and sound designer with a keen focus on composition for games, film, television, and other visual media. I write, notate, and produce scores and craft sounds that aim to musically accentuate the stories and visions of others.

​

While I am most at home creating in the soundworlds of orchestral and ambient music, I thoroughly enjoy writing in various genres and I also specialise in orchestrating and arranging, with a passion for conducting - providing a high standard of quality focused on the inherently unique, bespoke musical voice of each project and helping to connect clients with their desired musical outcomes.

​

In the field of music preparation, I have worked previously with large symphony orchestras, 25-piece big bands, solo instrumental performances, and everything in-between. 
 

I graduated from the Griffith University Queensland Conservatorium of Music in late 2020, and studied under Dr. Matt Hitchcock, Dr. Thomas Green and Matt Christensen (composer of Superliminal) studying Music Technology / Composition and Sound Design & Game Audio. 


I've since written the scores to several short films, worked on sound design and implementation for Roblox & Splash Music, contributed library music for one of the leading providers of original music for advertising, worked as in-house team composer and audio designer for a multinational innovator in gaming technology, and continued to collaborate with many creatives globally on a variety of art, both visual as well as musical.


I believe that ultimately, music is meant to enthral, to invite an audience into a realm of imagination and reverie - capturing and enhancing their emotions.

With the right music, the reverie does not only captivate, it unfolds into reality.​​

I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which I work and live, the Jagera and Darug Wallamatta peoples, and of the many different nations across the wider Meanjin/Brisbane and Eora/Sydney regions. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
