Pieter Straatman (1968) is a composer, pianist and orchestrator based in the Netherlands. His cinematic idiom is a refined synthesis of the epic, lyric and dramatic, with compositions reflecting psychological insights and natural phenomena in contradiction and symbiosis. Straatman’s music can be heard in many commercials, films like Roald Dahl’s The Swan and Playing in Savage Paradise, award winning docs like Grown in Detroit and and the popular Dutch TV-series Dokter Deen. As a composer for hire as well as in his personal work, Straatman draws from the paradoxes inherent to humanity: serenity and heroism, euphoria and despair, vulnerability and power.…Pieter Straatman (1968) is a composer, pianist and orchestrator based in the Netherlands.
