Matthew Whiteside is a composer based in Glasgow, Scotland. In 2012 he graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a Masters in Composition.
His interest lies in the combination of acoustic and electronic domains through both the physical combination of both and being influenced by electronic genres such as Glitch music. Through this he explores aural phenomena such as beating effects in complex sounds and space within a room. When using electronics he is careful to give them a distinct personality in order for them to be an integral part of the ensemble which the piece would be incomplete without.
