Hi, I'm Matthew and I'm a music composer and sound designer currently residing in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have created music and sound for all sorts of media and artwork, from film and video games to theatre and performance art. I understand the role of music in providing context, character and story to visual and interactive media and often use unconventional and hybrid sound palettes to create immersive and interesting sonic landscapes. I'm fully proficient with audio production, editing and sampling, as well as foley recording and sampling. For interactive media and games, I also have experience in interactive audio principles and using Wwise and FMOD for adaptive music and sound integration. In 2018 I received the Best Original Composition award from Changing Face International Film Festival in Sydney for the score to the short film "Dissonance".   I graduated in MSc Composition for Screen at the University of Edinburgh as well as BSc Creative Music and Sound Technology from Leeds Beckett University.
