Matt Dilley

After graduating from the University of Birmingham with a music degree,
Matthew became a successful record producer, working with some of the biggest
names in classical music such as Yehudi Menuhin, Lesley Garrett and
Michael Nyman. He recorded over 120 classical CDs with the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra and numerous film soundtracks, most recently Hitchhiker’s Guide to the
Galaxy.

As a media composer, his clients include Time Warner, Granada, KPM, Prudential,
GSK and Pearson. No composer likes to be pigeon holed, preferring instead to
emphasise their versatility. Hopefully this speaks for itself when listening to the
clips on the media player. His greatest successes to date have been in children’s
music for which he has a test bed at home in the form of a son called Harry
and no… the choice of name was not influenced by Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs!

Matthew often performs on his own tracks, adding realism whilst staying on budget. This is supplemented by careful use of high quality sample libraries such as the Vienna Symphonic Library. His main writing tools are Logic, Pro Tools and Sibelius. As well as a home studio, he owns a mobile recording facility capable of tracking up to 64 channels of audio based on a Sadie H64 platform.
