Early life

Career

Tapia de Veer earned a master's degree in classical music (specializing in percussion) from the

In 2011, his music for the Victorian four-part drama

BBC2) was well received by critics. Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe, said: "The soundtrack ranges from gnawing electronic hums to choral ecstasy. It's all brilliantly, effectively, appropriately jarring".[4]

He went on to compose the music for the

Utopia (created by Dennis Kelly) for which he won a Royal Television Society Craft & Design Award for "best original music" in November 2013.[5] The judges stated his "work blurred the lines between sound design and score, creating a soundtrack that the jury said felt like it was being played inside your head".[6] Up again for an RTS Award in 2014, the music for the second series won the Music & Sound Award in 2015 in the Best Original TV Score category.[7] His work on Utopia was nominated for Televisual Magazine's Bulldog Award for best music and subsequently released on yellow and green vinyl.[8][9]

In early 2014, Tapia de Veer completed the music for the TV-show

Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awarded him with two Prix Gémeaux for best Original Music and Best Musical Theme the same year and again in 2016 for the second season.[11][12]

He also finished the works on BBC's

Jamaica Inn, directed by Phillipa Lowthorpe.[13] Tapia de Veer then wrote the music for the first season of AMC's / Channel 4's co-production Humans.[5][14]

In 2016, he scored his first feature film, The Girl with All the Gifts, which opened the Locarno Film Festival. His music won in the Best Original Music category at the Festival international du film fantastique de Gérardmer, France, in 2017. Paramount Pictures used his opening theme, GIFTED, for the final trailer of the 2019 remake of Pet Sematary and Focus Home Interactive for their videogame Call of Cthulhu.[15][16]

Tapia de Veer was unable to score the following season of

BAFTA and a FIPA D'OR at the Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels in Biarritz, France, for Tapia de Veer's original score.[17][18]

BBC America's series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency found a dedicated fanbase in 2016, which is still waiting for a soundtrack album to be released. Due to Tapia de Veer's heavily charged schedule, he was not able to work on the second season.[19]

In the same year

Primetime Emmy Award the following year.[20]

He also scored the Season 4 episode of

Black Mirror entitled "Black Museum".[21]

SOCAN awarded him with the SOCAN International Achievement Award in fall 2017, marking the first time that a composer for film and television has been awarded the prize.[22]

In 2018, the Canneseries festival invited Tapia de Veer to be part of the jury for its first season, alongside

Melisa Sozen, French screenwriter and director Audrey Fouché, and Harlan Coben.[23]
