Bio

Herman Witkam is a film composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since first enrolling in the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht composition program in 2004, he has composed scores for numerous feature films, television series and documentaries, as well as for games, commercials and theater projects.

Not only does Witkam compose the music for his projects, he plays and records most of the instruments heard in his scores himself. Of the more than 100 instruments he’s mastered, the Japanese shakuhachi and Armenian duduk may be the most notable. Witkam collects instruments from all over the world and combines them with innovative composing techniques to create a unique sound for every score.
