Hi, I’m Dirk — Composer for cinematic, atmospheric & story-driven media, games & narrations

I create mystery-driven, investigative, sci-fi, dark and horror soundtracks with strong focus on tone, immersion and emotional storytelling.
My music blends atmospheric pads, tension cues, ambient textures and subtle rhythmic elements — perfect for games where mood and narrative matter.

I have composed 30+ soundtracks for audio dramas, audiobooks, media and game-related projects, and completed 100+ sound design projects for storytelling formats.
If your game needs atmosphere, narrative depth or a distinctive sonic identity, I’d love to collaborate.

DEMO REELS

Dark Space – In-Game Music Showcase  (real gameplay + my original music):


 1-Minute Composer Showreel (sci-fi · mystery · dark · cinematic · atmospheric):

    - Atmospheric loops & ambient backgrounds
    - Dark tension cues & stingers

  • If your game needs immersive, cinematic or atmospheric music, I’d love to hear about your project.

  • Hi Dirk,

    I'm Kevin, the Lead Developer at K-tech Studios, and I came across your post. I was highly impressed by your extensive experience (30+ soundtracks) and the cinematic, atmospheric quality demonstrated in your demo reels.

    While our main project isn't a sci-fi or horror title, we are looking for a composer with your unique ability to create mood, narrative depth, and a distinctive sonic identity to elevate our AI-powered football game, Pitch Masters (PM).

    ⚽ Project Focus: Pitch Masters (PM) - Beyond the Field

    We are developing Pitch Masters to be more than just a typical sports game—it's a story-driven simulation where atmosphere and tension are crucial. We need a composer to define the intense, strategic, and often high-stakes narrative off the pitch and during critical moments.

    Your style would be perfect for:

    • Cinematic Menus & Career Mode: Creating a mysterious, intriguing atmosphere for scouting, transfers, and manager decisions.
    • Dark Tension Cues: Scoring the high-stakes drama of penalty shootouts, final minutes of a major game, or contract negotiations.
    • Comprehensive Sound Design: We especially value your offer of sound design for UI, ambience, and in-world audio, ensuring the entire game has a polished, professional soundscape.

    🤝 Collaboration Structure

    As we are building K-tech Studios through collaboration, this is an initial revenue-share/royalty position. You would be a core team member who receives a percentage share of the revenue generated by the game upon its release. We are committed to transitioning to upfront payments as the studio grows and secures external funding.

    I would love to send you a brief detailing the atmosphere and sound design needs for Pitch Masters.

    If this opportunity interests you and the revenue-share model aligns with your current goals, please contact me directly at [Your Email Address] or through your website contact form so we can share the full documents.

    Best regards,
    Kevin.
