KP Composition
👋 Welcome, I'm Kees Phillips and I’m a music composer for Adventure video games in Byron Bay, NSW. My composing style can be described as orchestrally driven and thematic, covering ambiences from tranquil, pastoral village and forest themes to vast, mysterious soundscapes to engaging, dramatic enemy encounters and more.
While I’ve had success composing for award nominated short films (Siffré, , Black Island), and indie animations (Merlin the Mallard, Deflated, Business Dog), I have the most fun when I’m writing for Adventure video games: Metroidvania, Platformer, Action, RPG & Puzzle games. These are the games I actively play, the ones that inspire me to create custom, impactful video game music for people like you!
