Tristan is great to work with. His knowledge of orchestration and music layering is top notch. His creative style is very flexible but still has a singular voice. And most pleasing from a producer’s perspective is he responds very well to feedback.

As a life-long film lover, I find it uniquely thrilling to write music for the screen — and I've been lucky enough to work alongside acclaimed film and TV composers like David Arnold, Michael Nyman and Michael Giacchino
Whether it's a play, a dance piece, an immersive theatre production or a musical, nothing compares to the crackling energy of an audience totally engrossed in a live performance. That's why I love composing for the stage — in all its diverse forms
I have been an avid gamer since the days when point-and-click adventures were fashionable. I relish creating dynamic music that enriches players' unfolding stories or underscores their in-game antics — from epic sagas to virtual snowball fights
Hi, I’m Tristan Jakob-Hoff — an Australian-born, London-based composer for film, television, stage and video games.
In recent years I’ve written music for the hit video game Call of Duty: Mobile, the feature film Empire Queen and the dance-theatre piece It’s Not Unusual. I also designed an evocative original score for the Singapore ArtScience Museum’s exhibition 2219: Futures Imagined, which played for nine months and was experienced by around 100,000 visitors.
Working closely with composer David Arnold, I edited and arranged live concert versions of the scores to blockbuster movies Independence Day and Casino Royale, which have been performed by leading orchestras around the world. I recently orchestrated the main titles for the James Bond-themed reality TV show 007: Road to a Million, hosted by Brian Cox.
I have collaborated as an orchestrator and arranger with many top film, TV and video game composers including Michael Nyman, Michael Giacchino, Petri Alanko and Tuomas Kantelinen, and arranged music for international pop stars including Melanie C, Joanna Wang and Nelli Matula. My instrumental album Box of Tricks is available on Spotify and my upcoming concept album Fake Flowers will be released in 2024.
