Bio
Patrick Keller
Matt is a gifted and effective communicator and I highly recommend him for any position where these gifts, along with his many other assets, can take center stage. I had the pleasure of working with Matt for over two and a half years at M-Audio, working with him on a near-daily basis for much of that time. Whenever Matt had the opportunity to put his mark on a situation, in either written or verbal form, he absolutely knocked it out of the park. Specifically, I witnessed Matt effortlessly diffuse and solve several potentially-stressful time-critical situations involving emergency technical support for some of M-Audio's most high-profile customers. Later on, when Matt was the Technical Author working on several of the products I was managing, he always produced results both excellent AND speedy under some very trying deadlines. Though his job titles make this somewhat obvious, I can personally attest to the speed and ease with which Matt learns and adopts new technology, be it software or hardware. More impressive still is his ability to effectively communicate what he's just learned to those that don't learn as quickly as he does. Matt is a positive, intelligent, and quick-witted individual, and he brings all of these qualities to every interpersonal interaction he has throughout the day, something that made him a very popular and in-demand employee at every level of M-Audio's ranks. I have no doubt that these qualities would quickly gain favor in any working environment Matt chose to take on. Matt was always an exceptionally enjoyable and effective person to work with, and I would definitely welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Instructor - Fundamentals of Synthesis
-
Jan 2015 - Present
I teach Fundamentals of Synthesis, part of the Music Production and Recording program at LACM. I designed the curriculum for this course, which gives students a solid foundation in the building blocks of synthesis that can be applied to any hardware or software synthesizer, including modular systems. A student who conscientiously and successfully completes the course should afterward be able to hear an electronic sound on the radio or in their head, and then draw a diagram on a napkin showing how to make that sound. This knowledge opens up new worlds possibilities for sound design, creative music production, and audio signal processing. Show less
