Mat McKinley - Music Theory & Composition
ABOUT MAT
Mat has been a freelance composer, arranger, programmer and performer of music for a wide range of media including TV, Radio, Multi and Interactive Media, Theatre, Modern Dance and Commercial Music production. His work has been heard on the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, Sky and many other National and European satellite and cable networks.
Mat also lectures at Alchemea in London where he teaches music theory and modern composition. Due in part to the success of the courses at Alchemea, he has spent the last 6 years writing a unique and comprehensive series of books to form a “how to” guide regarding modern and creative composition. This pack, the Hotwired Music Production Pack, is included in the Hotwired Live course that Mat has also written and which he hosts at weekend at Alchemea.
EXPERIENCE
Mat started learning music at an early age - the piano aged 4, clarinet at 7 and drums at 11. His musical influences encompass virtually every genre and this amalgamation of knowledge and experience has been an invaluable asset in the diverse field of media composition. He has played keys in many bands including live performance and studio session work, but now dedicates far more time to composing in the studio and teaching music. Tuition work involves group classes and individual coaching. Mat’s teaching abilities have been well documented by his fellow professional colleagues and students alike. To date he has taught more than 600 people during the 10 years he has been teaching.
"HOTWIRED LIVE" Composition Course
Hotwired is the brand name for the exciting music methodology of Mat McKinley. Mat has written a complete “How to” music production book pack as well as an intensive weekend workshop hosted at Alchemea. The methodology is not based on ambiguous science, but a practical, step by step solution that serves to accelerate and stimulate one’s musical potential. All of the bases are covered enabling a clear understanding of how to create great music regardless of genre. With Hotwired, music creation will never seem so easy.
