About Morten

Morten Beck electronic music

Morten Beck is an award-winning Dutch musician, composer, and producer.

Morten became interested in electronic music and synthesizers at an early age. He made his way into score work for television and film, and as a studio musician, specialized in programming Moog modular synthesizers, sequencers, and drum computers in the late 80s and early 90s.

In 2022 -- many projects and 35 years later -- Morten released his first three albums under his own name in co-production with Marvels Film Production. A collection of yet unpublished works that ended up on the editing floor of movie and series productions in recent years.

Using his vast collection of analog synthesizers such as the Moog modular and Oberheim, he is renowned for creating enchanting ambient atmospheres, heartfelt compositions, haunting thriller scores, and cinema-shaking drones that you can feel.

Movie Soundtrack

Since the advent of sound in cinema, the film score has become an integral part of the movie experience. The heart of the movie; without it, there is no atmosphere to experience, there are no emotions to be felt.
