Wegens Corona Gesloten was my first time composing for film. When I was offered the opportunity to compose for this series, I couldn't say no. This experience was completely new and I was able to learn more and more throughout the process. Especially interesting was the ability to create a world in sound. Since this series was made and released throughout a year, I was involved in the same world of sound for a long time - constantly thinking of themes and seeing how I could bring them back in new forms. This brought a palette of colours and possibilities to give the music more depth with each episode.

​

My goal for the soundtrack was to compose in a very minimalistic way. This was a new challenge because my music used to be quite complex and dense. What was also new was composing for piano and strings. Besides a few small compositions, I had never written for such an ensemble. This made composing a gratifying experience where I came across many new elements. As the series progressed, more string instruments were added and I was able to explore each theme further.
