David Martijn (1980) is best known as the guitar & synth player of the award winning Belgian electro rockband GOOSE. He spent most of his formative years bent over a pedal board with a Flying V strapped around his waist before discovering a passion for synthesizers. In 2004 he was recruited by Soulwax for the world tour of their record "Any Minute Now".
David discovered electronic soundscapes when he acquired his first analogue synth by the end of the millennium. He recorded early experiments on a four track recorder in his bedroom which he today describes as 'whales playing Pink Floyd' covers'. Throughout the years, David has become one of Belgium's most renowned synth enthusiasts.
The visual arts were always an important inspiration for David's work. From the cinematic energy in his own musical creations, to his love for experimenting with analogue photography. A shared love for vintage synthesizers & photography resulted in David creating soundscapes for the premiere of Carl De Keyzer's exposition 'Moments before the Flood (Aller Retour)'. These pieces were eventually reworked as the soundtrack for Jimmy Kets' documentary on Carl's work 'OdysSea'.
In 2018 David's career as a film score composer really took off when he was asked to write the score for the prestigious TV series 'The Day'. He composed, recorded, produced and mixed every song for this television drama. Meanwhile he's working on the soundtrack for Wouter Bouvyn's new één-series 'The Twelve'' & he started working on Gilles Coulier's next project 'War of the Worlds' ( Fox, Canal Plus )
