The Gate
'The Gate' premièred March 23rd in Bielefeld and was a huge succes.
Two quotes from the reviews:
…wobei die von Renger Koning eigens erstellte Musik, die mit elektronischen Soundscapes und effektvollen Einsätzen von Gesangsstimmen ihren Beitrag leistet, und den Beobachter doch nicht erschlägt.Westfalen-Blatt, 25.03.24
Der durchweg beeindruckende soundtrack is von Renger Koning Die stimmige Musik, ein fantastisches Bühnenbild und nicht zuletzt ein grandioses Ensemble tun ein Übriges, um das Publikum der Uraufführung zu Begeisterungsstürmen hinzureißen. Absolut sehenswert.Neue Westfälische, 25.03.24

'Hotel Wonderland'
For Hotel Wonderland, an immersive theatre experience in Amsterdam, Renger composed over 4 hours of original material. In over 4000m2 visitors could immers themselves together with 12 actors in a 3 hour show. Unfortunately due to covid restrictions Hotel Wonderland closed its doors.
This is a link to the Ouverture.
'2 tracks for The Solos - Curio'
Sixteen new novel, unusual, rare and sometimes bizarre trailer music cues. Warm, intimate, nostalgic and reflective. For this album Renger wrote 2 tracks that hopefully will appear in trailers somewhere in the world in the near future.
At the moment it is still an 'industry release'.
'De Val'
De individuele wandelvoorstelling De Val neemt de gelijknamige roman van Albert Camus als uitgangspunt. De rosse buurt van Amsterdam en de bruggen in Parijs zijn verruild voor die van Groningen, maar de desillusie van de hoofdpersoon Clamence is even groot. De voorstelling zet een duister verhaal af tegen een opgepoetst decor. Dat levert spanning op.
Quote: "De compositie van Koning, een mooie mengeling van elektronische klanken, viool en straatgeluiden, maakt van de oude binnenplaatsen naast de kerken en de klinkerstraatjes haast een filmdecor. De soundscape intensiveert het beeld, waardoor mijn aandacht opnieuw vooral daar naar uit gaat."
Wendy Lubberding, Theaterkrant
Tekst & voiceover: Ko van den Bosch.
Componist: Renger Koning.

'WestWorld'
Spitfire Audio and Westworld producer JJ Abrams organised a competition for composers to score a scene from the last season. First I didn't want to enter but since there was a lockdown and some projects were postponed I thought why not. In the end it turned out that there were over 11.000 entries!!!
I did not win but had a lot of fun working on this scene.
