The soundtrack is available to download on Amazon and digital music services.
1985 is created by Willem Wallyn with Tijmen Govaerts, Mona Mina Leon and Aimé Claeys.
In 1980, a young woman, her brother and his best friend set off on the adventure of adult life. Brimming with good intentions, they embark on a promising future.
Vicky as a law student at Université Libre de Bruxelles, Marc and Franky as recruits with the Belgian Gendarmerie.
But in the years that follow, they each lose their innocence and illusions. Just like their whole country, they sink deeper and deeper into a swamp that came to be called the Nijvel Gang.
Jeroen Swinnen:
Belgian composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jeroen Swinnen has carved out a reputation for fusing brooding string scores with electro-synthpop, post-rock and indie sounds.
Aside from years of touring with some of Belpop’s finest alternative acts, he more recently branched out into television soundtracks, including the acclaimed score for “Hotel Beau Séjour” and “The Twelve” on Netflix.
Even though he began his career writing songs and playing keys in electro-punk bands like Vive La Fête (a side-project from dEUS bassplayer Danny Mommens and Els Pynoo), Swinnen’s entry into the world of almost neo-classical television soundtracks is no accident - both his parents are classical musicians and from a very early age he was surrounded by music.
Rooting himself in the piano, he later also picked up the bass, guitar and also fronted bands as the lead vocalist in his teens and early twenties.

David Martijn:
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.
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 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.
In 2019 he composed the soundtrack for Wouter Bouvijn’s new één-series ‘The Twelve’ and he worked on Gilles Coulier’s 8-episode international sci-fi series ‘War of the Worlds’ (Fox, Canal Plus).
In 2020 he will compose ‘Red Light’, a new international series written by and starring Carice Van Houten and Halina Reijn.
