Seif on SoundBetter

6 years of professional music production and sound design. 30+ international projects delivered with Plomp over 3+ years, creating original music and sound for architectural films and visual storytelling.

Services I provide -

• Original music composition for film, animation, games, and visual media
• Cinematic and atmospheric music production
• Music production from an initial idea, reference, demo, or visual
• Sound design, Foley and audio atmospheres
• Mixing and mastering
• Re-arrangement and adaptation of existing music
• Electronic, ambient, experimental, rock, orchestral, and hybrid production
• Music tailored precisely to the pacing, emotion, and narrative of your project

My Approach -

Every creative project requires a different approach to achieve the best cohesive artistic result for the project

I like to understand the visual language, narrative, pacing, and emotional colors behind a project before deciding what the music should sound like. Sometimes that means a detailed orchestral arrangement; sometimes it means a single evolving texture, an unconventional sound design element, or a carefully placed silence.

Having worked on projects for clients across different countries and cultures, versatility has become one of the most important parts of my process. Every project brings a different world to explore, and I enjoy finding the musical language that belongs specifically to that world.
