About the Composer(s)
Matt Pusti, widely known by his electronic music moniker Makeup and Vanity Set, is an acclaimed American film composer, music producer, and synth artist renowned for his dark, cinematic retro-futuristic soundscapes. Heavily inspired by the analog synthesizer pioneers of the 1970s and 1980s—such as John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis—Pusti has carved out a unique niche in the modern sci-fi, horror, and action landscapes.
Pusti's notable scoring credits include the science fiction features Synchronicity and Man Underground, as well as a prolific output of critically acclaimed synthwave and cyberpunk studio albums. For Adam Wingard's highly anticipated 2026 science fiction action-horror film Onslaught, Pusti composed a dark, pulsating, and menacing electronic score. Utilizing heavy modular synthesizers, retro-futuristic drum machines, and sweeping ambient pads, his music elevates the film's gritty, high-octane survival struggle against genetically engineered super soldiers.
