Matt Walker

Omaha, Nebraska based composer Matt Walker is passionate about telling stories through sound. A lifelong musician, Matt arrived at his current media composition practice after years of writing and performing with various rock, electronic, and contemporary performance ensembles. He is adept at working on a creative team, prides himself on meticulous attention to detail, and always aims to provide the most appropriate musical solution for the project at hand.

A highly devoted student and eager learner, Walker is currently studying orchestration and composition for film, TV, and games with Berklee College of Music. With a proficiency in writing music for a variety of dramatic scenarios, his melodically-driven scores and dynamic textures explore the wide spectrum of human emotion.

Matt has performed his original compositions at the Omaha Under The Radar festival (2020) and TEDxOmaha event Time To Engage (2018). He has provided music for numerous short films by directors Kate Brewer, Tim Guthrie, and Paul Christian Glenn; in 2023, Matt scored his first feature-length film, The Headliner, a comedy directed by Tony Bonacci. A strong believer in the power of collaboration between artistic disciplines, he has also received commissions for original works from modern dance ensembles Tbd. Dance Collective and Vōx Dance Collective.
