Anonymouz

AKA Faiumu Matthew Salapu

 
 

Anonymouz’s expansive career in audio spans from local NZ Hip Hop music production through to international experimental avant-garde sound art commissions. His diverse portfolio in audio speaks to a restless creative whose sonic explorations can be found across a wide range of award-winning projects within recorded music, theatre, orchestral, dance, urban, film, tv, radio and new media.

Recent highlights include one of his productions “Masta”, off Tha Movement’s “The Undisciplined Son EP'' scoring a film sync and official soundtrack play listing on Dwayne “The Rock'' Johnson's Hobbs & Shawa: Fast & Furious 2019 Hollywood blockbuster.

He was commissioned in 2021 to produce the historic opening sound design at the Auckland Town Hall for the NZ Government's official Apology to Pasifika communities. He was also commissioned by NZ’s flagship Pacific Radio stations Radio 531PI and NIU FM to create their rebranded music imaging stings which still play every four minutes.

His 2015 appointment by Auckland City Council to oversee the production of permanent soundscapes built into the exterior roof soffit of the award-winning Glen Innes Music and Arts centre facility "Te Oro” is also notably the first time a non-physical Public Art work (sound) has been commissioned by a local authority in New Zealand.
