The telefilm Good Bad Girl by director Mete Gümürhan is about a young, ambitious detective who gets into conflict with her superiors. The main role is played by Jade Olieberg and beyond, there are roles for Martijn Lakemeier and Yannick Jozefzoon, among others. The music for this film was written, produced, recorded and mixed by composer Mink Stapelenburg, who is making his feature debut with this film. There is a lot of space in his composition for texture exploration, much of the music is built around it sound experiments. The sounds are often developed from (field) recordings that create a new melodic context. Good Bad Girl has a nice, subdued score that is below the skin creeps. Mink Stakelenburg is very careful with his material, which he then produces beautifully elaborates. It’s brilliant how within just one lying chord a deluge of little, but intriguing details are realized.

Mink won the New Talent Award during the BMIM Awards 2022 for his composition in Good Bad Girl.
