Little Quentin - Full Soundtrack

Maarten is a composer based in The Netherlands. He is best known for his adventurous orchestral music, such as his score for The Seven of Daran: The Battle of Pareo Rock, directed by Lourens Blok, for which he received a Dutch Gouden Kalf nomination for Best Music. Maarten also scored a number of the popular films based on the Carry Slee books, including Lover or Loser and Razend.

Maarten has also composed the scores for numerous animations, including the much loved Little Quentin (2010) and Paultje en de Draak (2008), both directed by Albert 't Hooft and Paco Vink.

For the Gelders Fanfare Orchestra, Maarten composed the cosmic work To Vega and Back, which has since been performed by numerous ensembles at concerts and competitions. Maarten's cinematic tango for the film M.A.N. features bandoneon player Carel Kraayenhof and was later arranged and performed by the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

Maarten is also creative director of ProjectSAM Cinematic Sampling, developing virtual instruments for the professional scoring industry. ProjectSAM's samples are sold world-wide and can be heard in the biggest films, series and video games.
