About Martiln

Music Maker | Sound Creator | Educator

Hi, I'm Matt! 👋

I'm an electronic music maker, audio engineer, sound creator, educator and Ableton Certified Trainer from Australia.

I make music and put out fun educational videos on YouTube under the moniker of Martiln (the name came from my first ever Dungeons & Dragons character!).

As a music maker, I like to make a whole wide range of stuff, never really tied down to a single genre but almost always involving crazy bass and trance-y elements like big sawtooth synths. My music all forms one part of a larger creative project called REALMS, which you can check out at realms-universe.com

As an educator, my goal is to help people bridge the gap between techniques, tools, technology and the creative process, making learning fun and engaging along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!
