Matt - Composer and Sound Designer
Matt began his career at the age of 15 as the piano player for Gutenberg The Musical. Since then, Matt has become a staple in the Vancouver musical theatre scene, working with companies such as Theatre Under The Stars, Exit 22 Productions, Align Entertainment, Royal City Musical Theatre and Geekenders to name a few….
After a tour to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with musical improv troupe Adlibreto, Matt returned to Vancouver to Create The Happiest Big Band On Earth. The band plays all Disney music with original orchestrations written by Matt.
Recognizing his love for orchestration, composition and sound design, Matt sought out mentors and found them in Doug Besterman and James Sampliner for orchestration, Bryan Perri for vocal arranging, Denis Sands for sound, and Brian Usifer for Logic Pro X. This has given Matt a truly unique skill set that is necessary for this kind of work.
Len - Photographer
A four time nationally accredited Master Photographer, Len has spent over 30 years behind the camera. Well actually, most of that time he wasn’t behind the camera. He only goes there to press the button which is still quite a lot, but when he is not pressing the button he is busy creating, designing, and playing with light.
