I am a starter in the world of Visuals.
My first start and biggest help so far was when a friend passed on some knowledge and software to get me started. From then I have gone from strength to strength
Pioneer Pro Dj Products are now my major sponsor.

"hey durty mac
just dropping by to say your visuals are awesome bro. i've seen them twice now, once at that steaming for a cause gig at the studio and also at the turnaround when you did visuals for lotek hi-fi. i liked the way in both cases you really matched the visuals to the music, which was very different at each gig."
Per/Dj Silver beat Innersound show on Juice tv.
"Hey Matt
Hey I want to say thank you for all the wicked visuals you've been doing on the Innersound show lately. When you came on the show was severely lacking in that department and now we get heaps of people calling telling us that it's the best part of the show! I'd like to think that I'm the best part of the show, but I'm starting to realise that the people are right. You always seem to come up with new and exciting shit every week too. Top work man. I can't wait for us to do some Innersound parties with your visuals as the backdrop. Hope you're getting some more work cos I'm telling everyone about you too. See ya soon.

Simon Hoffman from Hoffman presents:
"Hey Matt,
Finally on My Space and figured out how to get her going. Just want to say a belated massive thanks for all the work you did for the visuals at Steaming for a Cause. The visuals bought a whole new element to the night and the whole gig was given a lift. I have had so many comments since SFAC talking about how great the gig was, the music and especially the visuals. I know you worked in really well with all the artists and they appreciated it also. I dont think you had worked with any of them before so it was wicked to see you feeding off each other so natrually. I know that I felt so easy about leaving you to it and took away a layer of stress from the night.
The gig was a huge success as you know and looking forward to having you on board in 2007 when we take Steaming for a Cause to the next level if we are lucky enough to have you.
Keep those awesome creative juices flowing.
Thanks again.
Kia Kaha
