December 2001 I started with the preproduction of the music for the film 'Swingers' by Stephan Brenninkmeyer. I started with some sketches, which you still can hear in the trailer. Stephan always creates very convincing temp-tracks, music that is intented to intensify feelings, but has to be replaced by specially composed music.

For the 10 minute scene, when the main characters become close, Stephan cut music from the album 'Passion' by Peter Gabriel, very strong tracks that create a good build-up to the climax.This would take some beating, so I really had my work cut out. This film included the longest music cue I ever worked on. (Normally a film music cue doesn't last longer than 2 to 3 minutes).

In total I composed more than one and a half hour of music for the film. this is the total lenght of the film, but as always some cues were cut, or music only found its way into the trailer.

The song during the credits is a track I wrote together with singer George Blanken. This is also true of 'Diana's Lovesong', which gives atmosphere to a nice sequence where the main characters seduce each other in several different ways. We elaborated on the track for the CD. We worked on a rendition of 'Getting Over You', a track written by the singer for a lively scene in the pool when actor Joep Sertons is doing a humorous striptease-act. The music fits, as if uniquely written for this cue!
