POLTROCK

David Poltrock is a Brussels-based composer, producer and sound designer. He’s a member of the iconic Belgian rock band ‘De Mens’ but can boast countless collaborations as a producer and keyboard player with premium Belgian and international artists such as Hooverphonic, Triggerfinger, Salvatore Adamo, Portland, Prinz Pi, Monza and many others. His first solo release as a recording artist under the Poltrock moniker was 2018’s instrumental trilogy ‘Mutes, Moods & Machines’ in which he displayed an affection for intimate piano sounds, menacing drones and pulsating electronica. Poltrock’s music met with national and international acclaim earning him a Belgian ‘Music Industry Award’ (MIA) for best musician in 2019.

Poltrock’s first albums, cinematic as they are, paved the way for an increasingly successful career as a composer for film and television. He scored award winning films such ‘Wild Gene’ (2019), the Irish documentary ‘Young Plato’ (2021), ‘Holding up The Sky’ (2023) and ‘Planeet B’ (2023) as well as critically acclaimed TV shows such as ‘Studio Tarara’ (2019) or ‘Billie vs Benjamin’ (2022). His collaboration ‘Stay’ with RAVVEL was featured prominently in the French TV show ‘Il a déjà tes yeux’ and his ambient album VACUUM (2021) with Adriaan de Roover grew into an enigmatic multidisciplinary performance with dance, video and 3D sound.
