Matt
remains one of the UK's top orchestrators, arrangers
and conductors for film, records and live concerts
but combines this with developing his own career
as a film and tv composer and record producer.
Matt studied trumpet and piano at the London
College of Music and for a number of years had
a busy freelance career performing and teaching.
However it wasn’t until he began working
with world-renowned film orchestrator Christopher
Palmer that he really found his musical home.
“Chris was a great inspiration to me –
he orchestrated for the very best in the film
business such as Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein
and Maurice Jarré – but he also composed
film scores, championed neglected British classical
composers, produced film albums, wrote authoritative
books and articles.....he was a whirlwind of creativity.
He taught me how to really listen to orchestral
performances in the recording studio – and
always to demand the very highest standards from
oneself and ones colleagues. He died in 1995 and
I still miss him.” || More
