about me
Graduated as a graphic designer in 2001, but now mainly works as a musician. Think of abstract, electronic, electro-acoustic and experimental music. Making soundtracks for film and dance performances is something I've been doing for about five years now and I'm not tired of it for the time being. It remains a magical moment when image and sound coincide and one plus one suddenly turns out to be three.

Soundtracks, graphic design

remarks
Atmospheric without becoming 'new-agy'. With a raw edge. Sometimes 'uncanny', sometimes hypnotic. Sometimes both at the same time. Often minimalistic yet effective. And I work fast ;-)
