Hi. I'm student Bachelor of Music at the Utrecht School of Music and Technology. In the coming years I'm determined to bring a new sound into live electro-acoustic / contemporary classical music. Furthermore I have a love for 8-bit / lo-fi computer music. And I've worked on several installations, more on that soon.

I made some Kraftwerk-meets-Chiptune-meets-John-Williams-meets-Dubstep music for Utrecht School of The Arts game developers/designers.

This is a minimal music piece in which a wind instrument and a piano together create polyrhythmic patterns, which means for example that the piano can play a small 3 counts loop and the wind instrument a 20 counts loop. The harmonies and melody slowly evolve. There’s also a focus on volume dynamics. There’s some [...]

Inspired by J. M. W. Turner’s painting Rain, Steam And Speed – The Great Western Railway I made this collage of processed and edited samples from classical instruments. The deep drones are influenced by Sunn O))). I only used a couple of samples:
1) a part of ‘Cello Fundamentals’ by richtcello via freesound.org: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=32439
