We have the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with Matthijs Kieboom.
And you can ask one or more questions.
You can post your question(s) here in this thread until December 22nd 2020. After that day I will gather the questions and hand them over to Matthijs.
Several prizes will be given away to the members who posted the questions.
From all the questions Matthijs will pick the most original, the funniest and most interesting question.
The prizes

(If you are the winner of the VIP membership and you are already a VIP member, the 3 months will be added after the expiring date)

Thanks Sirius for this contest and the prizes! 
And also thanks to Matthijs for making it possible and his generosity!
Here is my first question - I hope more will follow when I am more awake and find the time to think 
 Is there a particular movie that when watching and listening to the score for the first time made you wish to become a film composer yourself? If so, which one is it? |

Q1: If you were given the chance to revisit a score to expand on a theme in one or multiple tracks, which score would that be and why?
Q2: How was your approach to creating music for movie "Kill Zombie" different than other movies such as "Foeksia De Miniheks" or television show "Wild"?
Q3: What did you enjoy most with your collaboration with Armin van Buuren? |

What would you have become if you hadn't become a composer?
Had you been given the change, what existing movie (anything from Gone with the Wind to Star Wars) would you have loved to work on and why?
Is there a kind of character or setting you like to write music for the most? Like a bad guy, or a chase scene or anything?

Who is your favourite film composer and why?
What music genre do you listen to in your leisure time?
Which one of your own scores do you like the most?
Which is your favourite film score by another composer?
Which one of your own scores did you struggle with the most in the making process and why? |

Dangit Bir ... you beat me to the one question I came up with this morning.
Ok ... here is my question: (hopefully will edit with more)
Is there a certain genre of film that you have not composed for as of yet that you would like to do next?
Is there a genre of film that is more difficult to write for than others?
Do you find yourself favoring one instrument over another and have to balance out compositions from time to time?
As a former musician, I understand failure when performing live can be both the greatest embarrassment and the greatest teacher. What is the biggest lesson you learned from a public performance?

Hi Matthijs! 
What do you like most about composing? And what's the hardest or least pleasant thing?
Thank you for all the great music! <3
Bru

Do you find it harder to write music for movies/series that you don't like or genres that you totally not into?
Do you find it harder or easier to make the soundtrack for children/youth movies than for adult movies? Or is there no difference?
Gaming is becoming more and more popular. Is making the soundtrack for a video game something that you would consider doing? |

Do you have any potential scores in mind that you are waiting to find the right film/series for?
Ideally would you rather write music when there is nothing more than a script available, or after the whole film has been shot?
Is there a famous soundtrack that you would like to do a different score for and in what way would it differ?
Which soundtrack surprised you the most when you first heard it and why?

Here is my questions:
When creating a piece of music, one can fall in love with passages and themes that one creates. There are also times when your creative taste and direction are challenged by those with final say. Have you ever felt so strongly about what you have written that you defended your creation? How did that turn out and did that make you a better composer?

New questions:
Have you ever been completely stuck on writing a score? Like a total lack of inspiration or a writer's block?
If you were in a band, what kind of music would your band make?
When will you be moving to Hollywood? Or do you rather stay in NL?
Do you prefer really big budget movies or small productions?

I hope I can explain right :
As music is an emotional issue, have you ever tried to give a scene an opposed piece of music? For example the nice princess gets an evel witch part or a thrilling scene a relaxing one. And let this sink in? |

Your last one about which score gave him the most difficulty.

?: Do any of your themes ever get stuck in you head long after writing them? If so, which ones? |
