Martin B. Janssen

Composing for Storytellers

As a film composer, my role goes way beyond creating a musical score for a film. My first and main objective is to enhance the emotional impact of the story in order to transport the audience into a world of heightened drama, suspense, and wonder. With every project, I strive to create a unique musical language that is tailored to the narrative and characters, crafting a symbiotic relationship between sound and image that overall impact the film. Through a deep understanding of the art of storytelling, and human psychology, I want to create music that moves people on a visceral level, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long after the credits roll. Together, let’s bring your vision to life in ways you never thought possible.

Food for Thought

Over the last decade, the film scoring industry has undergone significant changes, driven largely by advances in technology and a mutation in audience preferences through social media experience resulting into leveling creation towards a very electronic and textural soundscape. Themes have almost disappeared with the sense of identity bringing every modern production to a very similar sound combined to the use of temp tracks, the rise of sync libraries and free licensing music.

As a film composer, I always try to infuse traditional orchestral scores with modern cultural influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. Drawing on my experience and knowledge of different musical genres and techniques, I aim to create scores that resonate with contemporary audiences while still honoring the rich history and cultural associations of orchestral music and cinema.

What people have been saying

“Martin B. Janssen is a multitalented musician, composer and producer. I met the composer first, Martin’s instinctive talent for film music won him the Peer Raben Music Award. I also experienced the brilliant producer with consummate musicianship and subtlety for storytelling as he became the Music Director for the first season of Manhattan Parisienne we rehearsed in Broadway and played at 59E57. Martin is a family affair.”

“Super creative approach.”

Marin Alsop

Chief Conductor

Principal Conductor

Music Director

“Martin B. Janssen has a rare gift to be able to handle the emotion of music with grace and confidence. There is also a twisted and delightful ability to push the music outside the norm and inject it with humor and a dose of lunacy. In one breath you get a sense of of ultra modern architecture and the next, subtle historical references that activate the imagination. He exhibits command of traditional skills and shows that he is delighted to move past them!.”
