Profile
Matt Norman graduated from Southampton University with a BA Honours in Music where he studied composition, orchestral performance and electronic music. After leaving University he worked as an orchestral player and teacher before specialising as a freelance composer and producer in TV and film.
His commissions have included scoring music to picture for wildlife, science, current affairs and historical documentaries on the National Geographic channel, Discovery, the BBC, PBS, ARTE and UKTV.

Matt especially enjoys working with acoustic instruments such as strings, piano, woodwind and percussion. He has extensive experience working with live session players, orchestras and smaller ensembles as well as high quality sampled instruments but is also very much at home manipulating acoustic sounds with electronic effects or utilising synthesisers. Always striving to create the right atmosphere for the subject or story.
He is also a prolific writer of production music which is broadcast worldwide. Styles include large cinematic orchestral music through to small quirky ensembles, mysterious atmospheres, electro-acoustic tension tracks and even pastiche Baroque music.
