Matthew Zimmerman

A native of Minneapolis, Matthew has owned and operated Wild Sound Recording Studio for 20 years. Formerly located in the Ford Center in downtown Minneapolis, the current building was bought and completely redone into it's current manifestation over ten years ago. A quick look at our client page or an internet search will show you the exceedingly wide variety of music that Matthew has worked with over the years. Matthew has many years of experience as a drummer and percussionist as well as an audio engineer. He has worked in public television as well. Like most of the best old-school engineers, he learned by doing rather than attending a recording school. Experience and excellent ears.
