about
Belgian composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jeroen Swinnen has carved out a reputation for fusing brooding string scores with electro-synthpop, post-rock and indie sounds. Aside from years of touring with some of Belpop’s finest alternative acts, he more recently branched out into television soundtracks, including the acclaimed score for “Hotel Beau Séjour” and “The Twelve” on Netflix.
Even though he began his career writing songs and playing keys in electro-punk bands like Vive La Fête (a side-project from dEUS bassplayer Danny Mommens and Els Pynoo), Swinnen’s entry into the world of almost neo-classical television soundtracks is no accident - both his parents are classical musicians and from a very early age he was surrounded by music. Rooting himself in the piano, he later also picked up the bass, guitar and also fronted bands as the lead vocalist in his teens and early twenties.
