Original Music for Film & TV | Drama, Mystery & Storytelling for $350

Your film does not need generic “cinematic music.” It needs music that understands and completes the scene.

I’m a professional composer, arranger and orchestrator with more than 20 years of experience writing music for orchestras, ensembles and visual media.

I compose original music for film, television, documentaries, animation, podcasts and other visual and non media, with particular strengths in drama, mystery, crime, sci-fi, dramedy and documentary writing. I have a high queality arsenal of sample based instruments libraries but when the budget is right I can just as easily work with live musicians.

I can compose directly to picture but I can also work with a reference track and a good brief or description.

My musical background spans classical and orchestral music, jazz, rock, folk, tango, Brazilian and other Latin American and European traditions. That gives me a broad musical vocabulary, but my aim is always the same: to find the right musical fit for the story.

My concert music and arrangements have been performed by musicians of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (regarded by many as the #1 orchestra in the world), Amsterdam Sinfonietta, the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble and other major professional groups and artists. In 2024, four of my orchestral works were performed by Argentina’s National Symphony Orchestra.

My soundtrack composing service includes:

• Up to 1 minute of original music written specifically for your project, for the above mentioned fee
• composition, arrangement, production and mix of the music track
• orchestration where appropriate
• high-quality mock-up and production appropriate to the project
• stereo WAV + MP3 if needed
• stems and / or alt versions if relevant
• 3 revisions

My strongest areas include:

• drama and emotional storytelling
• mystery, crime and tension
• thriller / action
• fantasy
• orchestral and chamber music
• intimate acoustic music
• dark or unusual atmospheres
• quirky and character-driven music
• vintage influences & style / period music
• world music: south-american, european and other unique areas

For longer films, several cues, complete scores or unusual instrumentation, please contact me first. I can prepare a custom offer based on the amount of music and complexity involved.

My priority is always to make the scene work.
