I’m Matteo Sablan, a composer for games, film, animation, and creator-led projects, based in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I write music that helps a project feel alive, whether that means giving a game world a memorable identity, supporting an emotional scene, adding momentum to a trailer, shaping a creator intro, or building a theme that can follow a character across an entire story.

My work is rooted in melody, emotional clarity, and practical scoring. Inspired by the soundtracks of my childhood; from JRPGs, Studio Ghibli films, orchestral storytelling, cozy game music, and cinematic scores, I create themes, loops, cue packages, and musical identities that support the heart of a project without getting in the way of it.

I love thoughtful collaboration, memorable motifs, strange little worlds, big dramatic moments, tiny quiet ones, and creative teams who care deeply about what they’re building. I am also very good at overthinking menu music, giving fictional locations unnecessary backstory, and owning more cables than any reasonable person should.

If your project needs music with warmth, identity, energy, emotion, or a strong sense of story, I’d love to hear about it.
