description: "Jeff van Dyck, known as simply Jeff Dyck in his early years, is a Canadian-Australian video game composer. Born and raised in Vancouver, van Dyck started to become known in the video game music industry in 1992, when he was working with Electronic Arts (EA) for several sports game franchises, such as the Need for Speed series, together with Saki Kaskas. After his stint with EA, van Dyck moved to Australia and became the composer for the Total War franchise by Creative Assembly. During his collaboration with the video game developer, van Dyck won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award (2001) and garnered a nomination (2005). As composer and audio director Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai, he was nominated for the \"Audio Achievement\" section of the Develop awards in May 2012. In 2014 again as audio director, his team won a BAFTA for Alien: Isolation. Van Dyck is a partner in the Brisbane based indie developers Witch Beam and EarthWork Games (Forts)."
