Matt Loveridge and Jim Cornick - Children's/Animation Reel
Matt Loveridge Composer
Award winning Bristol based composer working across a variety of genres for film, TV and online. Collaborating with filmmakers who want to tell more dramatic and emotive stories through original music.
• RTS West of England Best Composer Winner 2023 for ‘Rendezvous With The Future’, a 3 part science documentary for BBC Studios and Bilibili, co-scored with Jim Cornick
• RTS West of England Best Composer Nominee 2021 for ‘My Best Friend Married A Warrior’, a short drama for Drummer TV and CBBC

• RTS West of England Best Composer Nominee 2019 for ‘The House Is Open’, an installation for Bristol Old Vic and Aardman
My work also includes feature and short dramas, animated series (including Lloyd Of The Flies for Aardman and Ready Eddie Go for Sky Kids), documentaries for BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5, plus branded content for clients including Barbour, Royal Mail, Cox and Cox, Arup, Pink Lady Apples, Transport for Wales, TK Maxx, Dupixent, The Royal Opera House, Bristol Old Vic, B&Q, Barnardos and Amnesty International.
My principles remain the same with any scoring job - Focus on storytelling, character and branding. I want each score to be different, creating new sounds and textures from scratch where possible to create a unique calling card, knowing when music can and should take the lead, and where it should be subtle or indeed absent, always remaining subservient to the narrative.

I have over a decade’s experience working in post production sound as a dubbing mixer and creative sound designer, and 3 years experience on high end drama as a boom operator, so my understanding of the overall soundtrack plays into my use of music and I love to collaborate closely with the sound team.
I also sit on the RTS committee for the West of England as well as representing Bristol Screen Composers as a founding member and driving force, showcasing the amazing composers, musicians and facilities in the city.
I have given lectures and mentored students at Aardman Academy, helping them to use music as a storytelling device and work with composers.
It's always helpful to get started talking about music as early as possible in a project, and I'm always happy to advise and chat through options so chuck me an email
