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 »
