Ross Koopmans on SoundBetter

Classically trained Composer and Tonmeister Audio Engineer with a passion for composing, producing & mixing. I love helping creative artists bring their productions & mixes to the next level, incorporating my knowledge as both an experienced musician and sound engineer.

I have worked in film, commercials (Mercedes Benz), online publications (Nowness, Document Journal), artist releases (Noé Solange, Urchin, Andrea Balency) as a composer, producer and audio engineer.

My background: Masters in Composition, Royal College of Music (London, UK)
Masters in Sound Recording (Tonmeister), McGill University (Montreal, Canada)

I love to bring my understanding of composition & arrangement together with my interest in production & mixing, to create a piece of music that works both musically and sonically. My ultimate goal is to bring exciting music to its full potential, allowing the artist to be able to express themselves completely.

I have studied under such names as George Massenburg & Richard King, giving me invaluable production and engineering experience. I have worked in studios ranging from Revolution Recording & Redpath Hall (Canada), to boutique studios in Berlin & London. I have worked across classical, pop, jazz and electronic genres, giving me a wide understanding of production and mixing for acoustic and electronic instruments.

I produce and mix my own music under the name Ross K. In 2020 I released my debut LP Braedalyn, performed in venues across Europe. A recent highlight was reaching #1 on Hype M for the track 'Slow Game'.

I love to collaborate with inspiring individuals. Please feel free to drop a line about your project.

    I worked with Ross on several projects throughout the past years, it's always been a great experience. Highlighting the score he did for the film Je Suis for Nowness. He brought a whole other dimension to the film with his score, and was able to portray through his compositions perfectly my intentions and the emotions of the story.

    Ross and I have worked together on a number of projects, all of which characterised by a sense of openness in terms of ideas, communication and creativity. His work as a composer, producer and sound engineer generously exudes natural musicality and love for the art, which always inspires the performance. These qualities, coupled with his professionalism and hard working nature, ensure an end result of great quality and craftsmanship. I can’t recommend Ross enough, he is a joy to work with.

    Ross is amazing to work with - we worked together on a few solo piano and live orchestral concert recordings and he produces great quality work consistently. We go through meticulous processes of fine-tuning the recordings and Ross is always incredibly attentive. I trust him to capture the best sound and would highly recommend him for any project.

    Ross was really good to work with in scoring my short films. He is really good at working with notes but also goes above and beyond to put his own creative flair on each piece of music and mixing he does which is more than you can ask for. Would recommend having him work on your film, whether that is mixing or original score, because he is meticulous and creative.

    Ross composed the music for Narcocorrido, my first feature and I've been recommending him ever since. We worked remotely which brought its own challenges, but after an initial exploratory feeling out process he produced work that simply blew me away. It was a great creative experience and look forward to working with him on the next project.

    Ross helped me with mixing and mastering my latest project 'Not Like This'. Ross is a great collaborator and communicator, making the entire process smooth. His patience and thoughtful approach to production helped steer my tracks in whatever direction I wanted. On top of this, Ross extended his services, offering me invaluable advice on my compositions as I was finishing the songwriting process. 5 stars from me!
