Matt holds a deep passion for storytelling and creating immersive atmospheres for audiences. Fundamentally, film is about creating an effective and compelling story that emotionally impacts the viewer. For a filmmaker, music is one of the most persuasive aspects of communicating their story. Music interacts with our experience much differently than words or visuals, it glues together all the pieces of the narrative.

We feel music.

From a practical perspective, Matt utilizes numerous musical techniques to convey feeling. These techniques range from easily identifiable aspects of music writing such as thematic melodies and genres to more subtle choices in the orchestration, mixing, and mastering of the cues. Effective film music stems from a clear sonic palette that allows room for other elements of the film to shine, such as dialogue and sound effects.

Matt has a straightforward workflow that is built to make the lives of directors and editors easier in terms of incorporating the musical elements into the project. This is modeled after industry standard approaches that includes: masters, final mixes, stems, sheet music for live instrumentation, timestamps, and emotional breakdowns for each cue. These elements work to bring a film to life as quickly and effectively as possible.
