About Dr Matthew

I recently completed a PhD in music composition (supr. Dr. Simon Mawhinney, Belfast); my research title is "Counting over time: Approaching the enumeration of maximal combinatorial systems through the phenomenology of temporal consciousness." The research explores the temporal implications that system music presents for the listener, in relation to my own work and in the wider context of experimental and minimalist music. In 2022, I published my first book 'At this moment in time: Philosophical perspectives on sound' and am currently working on a new book on experimental music composition.

Previously, I studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama on a scholarship under Laurence Crane (previously Dr James Weeks). I was composer in association with the City Chamber Choir and have had my music performed and workshopped by the likes of the BBC singers, EXAUDI, Line Upon Line, Lakeside Brass, Harvard University, sections of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the clarinettist Heather Roche, the organist Carson Cooman and the contemporary pianist Satoko Inoue. I studied organ through the Royal College of Organists at the University of Sussex under James Lloyd Thomas and under Simon Williams at St George's, Hanover Square.

As an organist and conductor, I've played and conducted at Cathedrals such as Westminster (Cathedral and Abbey), Southwark, St Pauls, Canterbury, Peterborough, Liverpool, St Albans, Rochester, Guildford, Winchester, Salisbury, Belfast, Oxford, Hereford and abroad in Paris and Belgium. I am currently choral director for the Queen's Consort and the Mossgrove singers, and have previously worked as a director for the Guildhall Schola Cantorum, the London Conservatoire Singers and the St Agnes Liturgical Choir. I am a Fellow of the Society of Crematorium Organists (FSCO), a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians and the Royal College of Organists. From 2015-2021, I held the position of director of music at St Agnes Church, Kennington Park.

I was recently fortunate enough to be chosen for BBC Radio 3 Next Generation Voices, searching for new presenters and speech contributors for broadcast, and worked for a number of years on local radio in London. I also managed and hosted the Kennington Park Recital Series, based at St Agnes Church, Kennington. In early 2021, I was asked to give a prestigious TED talk on schizophrenia and music.

My past projects include writing and curating operas (most recently funded through the Barbican), a monodrama, a setting of the Passion of Christ for orchestra and chorus and a number of substantial chamber and solo works. As well as music, I spend time cycling, visiting Churches and learning French. I live in Hastings, East Sussex and am currently in formation of becoming professed as a tertiary in the Third Order of the Society of St Francis.
