My Sound
DePree is renowned for having an ear for creating unique effects in his music. He achieves this by constantly pushing the boundaries of sound and experimenting with unusual items to bring originality to every score. It is his unique ability to turn these unconventional concepts into musical ideas, combined with his trademark heartbeat of driving drums, that gives his music a truly timeless, yet contemporary dimension.
With every project DePree is involved with, he records and produces his own custom sounds from scratch. After years of doing this, his custom palette of sounds have become an important component to his original style of composition and production.
