Let's Make Some Music

““I was concerned about the distance and not being able to mix together in the same room. Instead, Matt was able to quickly identify my style, making changes to get the sound I was looking for. Matt’s a musician and a music fan so communicating ideas was easy because he speaks our language.””
— Bill Rieger
““Going into the project, I was worried about not knowing Matt. After getting started, I gained a new perspective I didn’t have and a clearer understanding of the process. Matt acted as a guide for when I felt lost.””
— Julia Shin
