MATEJ PERUNICIC
“My mission is to write scores that provoke a reaction.”

excerpts from original scores created for choreographic works
A neoclassical score moving between explosive orchestral momentum, intimate piano and exposed strings, with darker experimental textures gradually pushing against the acoustic world.
Between the Line

| Queensland Ballet 2026 |
Aura
Original score for choreography by Dayana Hardy
| West Australian Ballet 2026 |
A dark hybrid score fusing industrial electronics, low strings and dark textures. Built around heavy pulse, descending weight and moments of ritualistic scale.
We're All Going To...
Original score for choreography by Oscar Valdes
| West Australian Ballet 2024 |
| Big V International Gala 2024 |
A neoclassical score shaped by hope and resistance, moving from quiet reflection into driving strings and a sense of release. Written for a story about pushing against the weight of routine and choosing to live fully.
Matej Perunicic is an Australian-based composer whose work fuses neoclassical writing with experimental electronics and cinematic sound design. After a decade long career as a professional dancer, his approach to composition is shaped by movement, rhythm and theatrical storytelling.
Across stage and screen, he creates music that carries physical tension, emotional clarity and a strong sense of dramatic architecture.
