MATISSE WORKS

Welcome to MATISSE WORKS, where I share my love for immersive and captivating sound design. This is the place where I tell stories through the power of sound, and where every project is a unique sonic experience waiting to be explored.

Hi!

My name is Matisse Verheyden

Creativity is and has always been my fuel and motivation.

Visual art has been my first passion since childhood and, pursuing it, I have had an amazing, successful and rewarding 13+ years career in the 2D animation field during which I specialized in the technical aspects of the work, ie. rigging, technical direction and teaching it around the world.

To my surprise, throughout my animation journey, I developed a bottomless interest for the audio world - both in its linear and interactive forms - and ended up devoting all of my free time to it. In 2024, I decided to fully dedicate myself to audio and enrolled in a Game Audio Creation and Implementation program.

I find myself fortunate enough to feel at home in the technical aspects and tools of Game Implementation, ie. middleware and game engines, as they are akin to the ones I have been dealing with in 2D animation.

Entering the field as a professional in July 2025, I am eager to learn from the best by joining a team, working on inspiring titles and facing all the challenges audio has in store for me.

I aim to be a T-shaped audio specialist, able to implement, build, script, test and debug systems in middleware and game engines, all while keeping a strong focus on sound design.

PORTFOLIO

Lada Levchuck, Lead Rigging Artist, managed Matisse directly

“I am delighted to recommend Matisse as a Toon Boom Harmony Senior Rigger based on our collaborative work.

For me, it was highly satisfying to have him on a team. Matisse consistently delivered high-quality work on time and with great attention to detail. During our collaboration, I could notice his great experience in the industry. He was preparing assigned tasks according to our technical requirements, but when it was needed offered fresh views and brought new ideas to the table. So I felt that I could entrust him with tasks of all levels of complexity in the project. Matisse also demonstrated a willingness to listen, quick reaction to feedback, and adapt if there are changing project requirements.

In conclusion, I would say that Matisse is a valuable specialist who brings a combination of responsibility, creativity, and teamwork to the project."

Rob Thomson, Film and Game Producer, was Matisse's client

"Matisse is great!

Our scope on production shifted and we needed someone to come in and hit the ground running.

Matisse jumped in and delivered rigs for our production teams exactly to spec. They struck a great balance between flexibility and lightness and our show would not look as great as it does now if not for his work!"
