Hello. My name is Matthew Thomson, and I'm a recording engineer.

With over 15 years of experience, I help artists move from first ideas to finished records through recording, production, mixing, mastering, and direct creative support.

I work from various studios in the Portland area, my home mix room, and other trusted rooms around the country when it makes sense, bringing a seasoned, practical ear to every project.
