ABOUT
Arjan Terpstra
Composer & Sound Designer
IT START WITH
An Endless Passion for music, especially for trailer music.
I am a Dutch composer and music producer and I have a profound passion for trailer music, game audio, soundtracks and sound design. I’ve gained ample experience throughout my career in the music industry. Growing up in the Netherlands, I developed an interest in music at a young age, which led me to study music composition and studio production at the ‘Prins Claus’ Conservatory in Groningen. It was there that I honed my skills and developed my own unique style.
Over the years, I have composed a diverse range of music, spanning various genres and styles. I have created trailer music, pop music, sound design for games, and dance music. I’ve collaborated with a wide range of producers, musicians, and artists. Along with composing and music production, I also possess extensive experience in mixing and mastering of tracks.
My music is known for its emotional depth and intricate composition, which is both emotionally powerful and technically proficient. I am always looking for new ways to push the boundaries, and I am constantly experimenting with new sounds and techniques. I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including classical music, contemporary pop, and electronic music.
My compositions often incorporate a wide range of instruments and textures, creating a rich and layered sound. Aside from my work in trailer music, I have also received accolades for my contributions to the pop and dance genre. My compositions have achieved multiple platinum and gold status, showcasing my skill in crafting catchy and memorable tunes that resonate with audiences.
Recently, my contributions have been showcased in a multitude of projects, spanning from game trailers such as World of Warcraft’s ‘Dragonflight’ and Hearthstone’s ‘Voyage of the Sunken City,’ to advertising campaigns for renowned brands such as Samsung, BMW, PSV, and many others.
