My name is Matthew and I'm an audio engineer. I love helping people make the records of their dreams.
I'm a mastering engineer at Bob Weston's Chicago Mastering Service where since 2012 I've mastered and cut vinyl master lacquers for hundreds of releases from Merge Records, Sub Pop, Matador, Fat Possum, Polyvinyl, Jagjaguwar, Numero Group, Goner, and many, many others.
I've also recorded and mixed dozens and dozens of projects (mostly at The Echo Lab and Electrical Audio) and offer remote mixing services.
I co-founded The Echo Lab recording studio in Denton, Texas. I'm a member of the bands Mint Mile and Tre Orsi, and have been tour manager and live sound engineer for Superchunk, Destroyer, Bob Mould, The New Pornographers, Ex Hex, Jawbox, CHVRCHES, and the Mountain Goats.
I'd love to help you on your next project. Get in touch.
