He was mentored by a childhood spent in studios with his father Ralph Dyck, also a composer and technology specialist. "My Dad worked in R & D for Roland and was pivotal in designing the modern sequencer as we know it today. I got to hang around when he worked with artists such as Toto and Michael Jackson. I didn't know who those people were at the time, but I was constantly surrounded by music and the creation process. It was inevitable that creating music would become my life too."
Since then, Jeff has made it his life's work to evolve as a composer and technology specialist. In 1992, at the age of 23, Jeff began to make his mark as a composer/sound designer at Electronic Arts, working on classic computer game franchises including FIFA Soccer, NHL Hockey and the dynamic Need for Speed series.
After 5 years of sports games, Jeff was ready to take on more cinematic styles of composing. He relocated to Australia and contracted to companies around the world creating orchestral, electronic and ethnic/historical soundtracks.
During this time, one of the most successful independent game developers in the world, The Creative Assembly, were looking for a composer for their new Total War franchise and Jeff was the answer. In 2001 he was rewarded for their first collaboration with a BAFTA (British Academy Award) for the Japanese themed soundtrack to The Creative Assembly's Shogun: Total War - Warlord Edition.
The globally recognised BAFTA Interactive Awards reward the achievements in innovation and creativity in the new media industries.
Jeff was once again nominated in 2005 for his original music soundtrack for the computer game Rome: Total War.
The top-selling game, garnered a string of awards which culminated in a cover feature in December's issue of Time Magazine, two BAFTA nominations and three Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) nominations.
The Creative Assembly has an operation based in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, where Jeff is the Audio Director. In opening an Australian studio of this calibre, The Creative Assembly has recognised the technical talents and skills of Australian artists, audio engineers and programmers.
Jeff's music has proven so popular that The Creative Assembly have released soundtrack CDs of the Total War games.

What awaits us?
A cloud has fallen on our shore
The mighty hand and sword of Roman war
And I'll be brave, be strong, be true, my love
And I'll be waiting for you, forever...
My love you march to war defiant
May god returneth you triumphant
And you'll be brave, be strong, be true, my love
And I'll be waiting for you, forever...
"And remember this above all: Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure
They are not ashamed!"
How can I wait unknowing?
This is the price of war
We rise with noble intentions
And we risk all that is pure
We are only as great as our hearts will allow
What awaits us?
Forever...
What will become of us? What will be, will be
But I hope and I pray, every single day
You'll come to me, come home to me, come home to me...

Pour toujours
par Angela et Jeff van Dyck
Qu'est-ce qui nous attend ?
Un nuage est tombé sur notre rivage
La main puissante et l'épée de la guerre romaine
Et je serai courageux, fort, vrai, mon amour
Et je t'attendrai pour toujours
Mon amour, tu marches vers la guerre avec défi
Que Dieu te rende triomphant
Et tu seras courageux, sois fort, sois vrai, mon amour
Et je t'attendrai pour toujours
(Général romain : Et rappelez-vous ceci avant tout : nos dieux romains nous regardent, assurez-vous qu’ils n’ont pas honte !)
Comment puis-je attendre sans le savoir ?
C'est le prix de la guerre
Nous nous levons avec de nobles intentions
Et on risque tout ce qui est pur
Nous sommes aussi grands que notre cœur le permet
Qu'est-ce qui nous attend ?
Pour toujours
Ce qu'il adviendra de nous? Ce qui sera sera
Mais j'espère et je prie, chaque jour
Tu viendras vers moi, reviens vers moi, reviens vers moi
@King.Leonidas
