Bringing a refreshing sonic architecture in a diverse body of work spanning across film, television, and commercial work, Belgian-born composer Peter Baert’s talents also encompass orchestration, electronic music, and music production.

After creating a 30 minute-long demo for Golden Globe-nominated David Oyelowo years previously, Baert recently scored the Selma actor’s directorial debut feature The Water Man, co-produced by Oprah Winfrey, which was orchestrated by Matt Dunkley and recorded in a special set up within Galaxy Studios in Belgium during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Water Man was released in U.S. theaters May 7 ‘21 and is available worldwide on Netflix.

Most recently Baert worked on the documentary series Miracle N°71. In 2022, Peter scored LostLuggage, a Belgian primetime fictional series based on the 2016 Brussels bombings and Innomable, a documentary about one of Belgium’s darkest pages in history.

In 2018, he scored the Ensor Award-winning documentary exposé Breathless about the hazardous but surprisingly still booming asbestos industry, as well as the 2017 Belgian film Façades, directed by Kaat Beels & Nathalie Basteyns, which was pre-selected for the European Composer Awards and was also nominated for an Ensor Award.

In 2006, Baert co-founded Raygun - a commercial sound studio in Brussels working in advertising, television, and film; which he owns and runs together with his wife Liesbeth. 

He is also the proud father of three daughters.
