Bio filmcomposer Merlijn Snitker.
“I want my scores to have a strong personality: present, yet unobtrusive and always in support of the story. Music as an autonomous character, ánd a specific concept intricately interwoven with the scenario. “Voilà the statement that defines the craftsmanship of Merlijn Snitker, one of Holland’s most successful Dutch film composers.
Merlijn Snitker (1970), who graduated at the conservatory as a performing artist (saxophone), is a self-taught composer - whence his original style and fresh approach of the trade.
His soundtracks for Publieke Werken (Public Works, 2016) and Bankier van het Verzet (The Resistance Banker, 2018) were both nominated for a Gouden Kalf (the Dutch equivalent of the Oscar).
In 2010 Snitker won the Flemish ‘Outstanding Achievement Film Award’ for the soundtrack of Dossier K.
Snitker is not only composing for the Dutch cinema, but also branching out to Belgium (The Prime Minister, Save Sandra and Ritual) and Sweden (Siv Sover Vilse). Snitker’s eclectic style, a cross-over of acoustic and electronic music, proves that soundtracks can be both inconspicuous and mesmerizing.
