Matt has been writing music for film and documentary for the past 6 years. Working with orchestral sample software and live instrumental recordings Matt creates a wide variety of music from beautiful to quirky to powerful.
Notable projects Matt has worked on recently include Soul in the Sea (Amy Taylor, Feature doco premièring at NZFF in July/August 2013) Inorganic (Elena Doyle, NZFC Premiere short) Steep street (George Dawes, short for BBC Know), Gone Curling (Rachel Patching, Roland Kahurangi, finalist in Wildscreen, Banff and best Short Doco: Edge Festival 2012). Matt is currently working on the music for wildlife War zone, a 5to9 Productions 6ep TV series for AL Jazeera (English) and Kiwi director Logan Judd's debut feature: Enmity.
Matt is not only a skilled orchestral composer but is very flexible working in folk, rock and electronic styles and often mixes these elements into his composition.
