I’m Dov Waterman — a composer, sound designer, educator, and creative coach working with electronic and cinematic music that explores cycles of tension and release, movement and stillness. I’m drawn to the quieter moments — the space where an idea begins to surface before it’s fully formed.
I’m classically trained as a pianist and began my career performing internationally, including touring with BBC World Music Award winners MOMO. I now compose music and sound design for film, TV, trailers, and advertising, working with publishers across the UK and the US.
My work has included music and sound design for projects such as Terminator Genisys, After Earth, Face Off, Legend Quest, The Quiet Ones, As Above, So Below, BioShock, and Transformers: The Last Knight.
Alongside composing, I work deeply in sound design and sample library development — focusing on detail, texture, and the elements that shape how music is felt as much as heard.
Over time, this attention to process and listening led me into education and mentorship. I’ve taught composition, production, and creative practice across higher-education and professional settings, working closely with artists at different stages of their development. That work sharpened my interest in how ideas form, where they stall, and what helps people trust and complete their work.
That same inquiry now underpins my work as a creative coach. I support musicians and composers in understanding their creative process from the inside out — learning to listen more deeply, loosen the grip of judgement, and create with greater clarity, continuity, and confidence.
