Arnold Veeman is born and raised in the north of the Netherlands. He’s a versatile composer: from film scores to authentic ballads in the local dialect (Gronings) and from symphonic compositions to contemporary autonomous music. He plays the bass, guitar, drums and other instruments. Even though his music can be heard all over the world, he stays true to his hometown of Kloosterburen. Why? “For the broad horizons, the authentic people and the silence, in which pure music comes into being.”
“I compose and orchestrate music from the idea that people are misled by the prevailing, but out of date cultural paradigm. This paradigm emerges again and again in philosophy, architecture and music. Therefore, I think it is important for people to discover a new vision, especially in music.
As a composer I apply (musical) systems which I’ve developed myself. I use these to explain how creative processes work, for it is important for an orchestrator to write down ideas in such a way that they are performable for musicians. Dynamics and balance are key. Writing, reading and interpreting music is the most wonderful profession there is!”
Arnold Veeman collaborated as a singer-songwriter, composer and orchestrator with many musical companies, artists and collectives. He released several albums, such as “Toukomst” (Future) in 2012 and “t Vuur!” (Fire) in 2014.

Down to Earth (2015)
just incredible
A view days ago this movie left me speechless, wandering through the city with a strange almost alien feeling.
But not because of some sort of a gloomy undertone. The film leaves you with hope. Hope because you have known so many things since your childhood, so many things where you knew you were right, so many things that could be explained in much simpler ways. This film will remind you to that, it will make you remember it. And if you never had this experience before it will give it to you instantly.
Pure awesomeness and . . . well no I leave the review like this . . .
Thank you for putting this out, reaching so many people already. It is worth every effort to spread the word even further!!
