next level story-telling.

It's not what you hearIt's what you feelWhen you listen
Music and sound design are storytelling at their most direct. Sometimes subtle. Sometimes roaring. The purpose is always the same: to move, touch and inspire.
Riad Abdel‑Nabi is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Amsterdam. He started as a drummer in German bands in the 1990s, studied composition and arrangement, and built a career across feature films, television series and soundtrack releases in Germany and the Netherlands.
His work combines cinematic depth with contemporary sonic aesthetics — creating emotional worlds that serve story, character and atmosphere.
In 2014, he co-founded the VAN SONIC Sound Collective. A close circle of composers, producers and musicians who share one belief: the best work happens when great people genuinely enjoy making it together.
