About Matthew
After graduating from the rigorous and intensive four year Tonmeister course, I worked as a classical music engineer/producer for big labels such as Decca, DG, EMI, and many other smaller labels. Early on I discovered a natural talent for film sound, and moved into post production sound for picture, beginning at Boom Ltd working with Paul Hamblin.
I soon moved to De Lane Lea, where I rapidly gained experience and a reputation working on some of the highest-profile projects in the country at the time. It was whilst at De Lane Lea that I received a nomination for a British Academy Award for my work with Walter Murch and Mike Prestwood-Smith on Cold Mountain.
In the spring of 2005 I left De Lane Lea to pursue a freelance career as a re-recording mixer, Sound Supervisor and Director of Sound.
I have a well-established track record as an effects mixer on large-scale Hollywood films (The Brothers Grimm, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Cold Mountain) and a growing reputation as lead mixer (including Anthony Minghella's Breaking and Entering, the critically-acclaimed Do I Love You? from independent film-maker Lisa Gornick and Making Waves from Eden Films). One of my first jobs as re-recording mixer and sound supervisor was The Deaths of Ian Stone, and I have several major projects in negotiation for the next twelve months as either effects mixer, lead mixer, sound supervisor or Director of Sound.
A well-known face about town, I have practical experience in most of the major Soho dubbing theatres, as well as good connections with the non-central London based studios such as Pinewood-Shepperton and Twickenham. I am also closely involved with smaller independent film companies, and use the very latest equipment to provide a high-specification track-lay and 5.1 mix within the budget structure of these projects.
