Scoring Imagined Worlds
Industry Work
STEEL ACES (2025)
A military tank shooter where I composed a powerful and cinematic score. With brass, strings, and intense percussive elements, the soundtrack enhances the tension of armored warfare, immersing players in a gritty, larger-than-life battlefield experience.
RISE OF PIRACY (2026)
An upcoming real-time strategy game set in the golden age of piracy. I created a dark yet adventurous score that blends dramatic orchestration with playful undertones, reflecting both the ruthless danger and free-spirited nature of life at sea.
WARBIRDS (2026)
A combat flight simulator where I explored the contrast between freedom and dread. The score blends airy woodwinds to capture the vastness of the skies with heavy, dark brass passages that reflect the looming danger of aerial warfare. This dynamic interplay creates a tense yet soaring atmosphere for the player.
Personal Work
The Phantom Records (label releases)
"Since 2020 I've been releasing music under my own label, The Phantom Records. It's a space for experimental, dark, and cinematic projects that don't always fit into the commercial world but are deeply personal to me."
About me
About Me
My name is Jordi van den Hoek, a composer specializing in dark, cinematic music for film, television, and video games. My focus lies in creating scores that enhance atmosphere and storytelling, often using strings, brass, and dramatic contrasts.
I started out with independent releases and personal projects before moving into game and film scoring. This path led me to work on titles such as Steel Aces (2025), Rise of Piracy (2026), and Warbirds (2026).
Through my own label, The Phantom Records, I also release experimental and personal music. In my work I make frequent use of libraries from 8Dio, Audio Imperia, and Spitfire Audio, which help shape the cinematic sound I aim for.
