Composer for Film, TV & Games
Whether you watch a commercial, tv show, film, documentary or game. Music plays an important role in how you perceive video. I will compose the music that suits your needs and customize it until you're fully satisfied. Music & video is pure synergy, so let's create something together!

Music, TV & Film Composer Jeffrey van Rossum

I'm a composer for tv, film and game based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Since 2007 I've composed a lot of music for films, documentaries, animations, games and music libraries. Check out what I did in the past on the 'credits' section of my website. Click here to read my full resume.

For me it's very important to get across the message of your video, without distracting the audience from the images. Where to put music, and where to be silent is an important aspect of the craftmanship of a composer. Making a film or game is a collaborative process, so getting feedback from you and make things better is part of my job. Everything to support the video the best way as possible, the way you want it, while remaining my own artistic identity.

I love music with simple but great melodies that stick in your mind. Who doesn't remember the theme from "Indiana Jones", the short melody from the McDonalds commercials ("padapapapaw, I'm Lovin' It") or the themes from tv series like "The Simpsons". They get associated with the video inmediately. That recognisable melody adds character and personality to a project. It's something I always try to do, while getting across a feeling, emotion or atmosphere that cannot be seen on screen.

Why work with me?

+ able to work fast (1 minute/day for a fast full orchestral piece, 3 minutes/day for a slow piano piece)

+ fast and good communication with the customer. Almost always online and a fast internet connection to deliver files. Communication is possible by telephone, e-mail and Skype.

+ specialized in orchestral music, created with the computer. Besides that I have the tools and experience to create pop, electronic dance and jazz music.

+ for games there's the possibility to deliver adaptive music. I work with Earquake for game audio. We can deliver both sound and music which is directly implementable in your game!

+ network of musicians, sound designers, producers, engineers and other composers to collaborate with. Even high quality orchestras in Budapest are an option if your budget allows it!
