film & TV music

David Oyelowo says, “Music and sound in film has always been important to me, which is why I consider myself lucky to have met composer Peter Baert when I did…While in post-production on The Water Man, I was working with another composer and had initially cut Peter’s music in as an experiment, and it all just worked perfectly. Within a week, he flew over, sat next to me in the edit, and that's how he became my composer…he totally nailed the tone.”

electronic music

In most of my earlier work, I started making music from vocal material, working with recordings of friends reading random magazine articles, mouth noises, stretched vocals, vocal performances and so on... tracks like "Morphine" , "Neilla Deum" or "Dreampole" are completely made with vocal material, like the mouth noises of Chantal Pattyn.

For a long time, I have been writing music that never sees the light of day. I am currently working on releasing these pieces on digital score platforms.
