About me
hi! My name is Michiel, I'm a dutch composer. Married, father of three. Currently working on two documentaries as well as an autonomous album, for which I'll be doing some live recordings (strings and soprano vocals) as well. I've spent a couple of years looking for 'my sound', finally finding it somewhere in between piano, synths, ambient, and orchestral. Background in pop production. Going the distance. Please feel free to check out my website: michielvanpoelgeest.com
I'm always open to meeting new and interesting people - a firm believer in being true to myself and others.

About me
From a young age I created orchestral music. The piano is my inner output. When I feel a certain way, the piano becomes my voice to represent what I feel at that exact moment.
This is where my journey begins.
In 2014, I attended ArtEZ University for the Arts, MediaMusic division in Enschede, The Netherlands. Here I studied film composition to develop my technical skills regarding composition, arranging, orchestrating, recording and mixing.
During my education I had the opportunity to work on various projects that helped me in developing unique set of skills. To name a few: d’Oale Markt Documentary (2016), Rode Zomer (2017), This Heart of Mime (2017), Antropoceen (2017), The Witness (2017), Jannes (2018), Witte Schaduw (2018), Praey (2018) and more.
In 2018, I started an internship with Cavalry Music, a Los Angeles based label and publisher focussing on a curation of boutique catalog of high-end music as well as custom trailer scoring. At Cavalry I assist in composition, maintaining key metadata consi
