About us

GreenCouch is a music-composition and -production collective based in the Netherlands. The collective consists of four music composers and sound designers, with individual specialities.

GreenCouch specializes in doing just that, we provide the music and sound that your media production craves. Whether it's an orchestra, a popband, a soundscape or the sounds of heavy artillery for the next first-person shooter, GreenCouch deliver exactly what your production needs.

Thinking ahead
We at GreenCouch are passionate about sound, and we very much appreciate to be involved in a project from an early stage on. To ensure the best end result, we believe it can often help to compose the music prior to the actual shooting of a production. Some award winning movies [link] were developed in a synergic way, with the design of the music in an earlier stage than the traditional 'post-production'.

One step ahead
Innovation is the key in this rapidly changing business. Greencouch has been developing new ideas for creating great realistic orchestra sound on a low budget and in a short timescale].
We are also leading the way in adaptive, nonlinear and generative music. One of our recent games benefitting such adaptive music system is the Xbox Arcade game Shortburst and the art game Dinner Date.
GreenCouch has many prototypes of Game Sound Engines which make the implementation of non-linear sound as easy as traditional game music.

Sharing to a better world
Since many beginning film- and game-makers don't always have the budget for newly created musical materials, some compositions and sound effects from GreenCouch (that didn't make it to the screens) are shared in a Creative Commons license with the world. This sharing has led to many very interesting and very successful independent productions.
