'Honderden ikken en één jij'
is an auditive poem about hyper vigilance: a state of over awareness and self consciousness that can create a disconnect between yourself and others.
Through creative audio,
i take the listener inside the mind of someone that's disassociating from theirselves and from others - which creates a trance-like effect.

welcome to my music mock-up library,
▪︎ a warm orphanage for my lonely sounds
▪︎ a way of expressing my curiosity for ≠ genres
▪︎ a tool to sharpen my productional knives
i'm inspired by new content that emerges everyday,
whether that's visuals, graphics, stories or music. And i'm always triggered by the thought: 'how would i approach this if i were to create the sound for it?'
this allows me to think in new ways, beyond what i'd normally go for.
some of these tunes were created with a specific ad, show, podcast, movie or series in mind.
(won't tell you which ones though ;))
▶︎ take a stroll, listen around, have a coffee.
+++ GET IN TOUCH if you'd like to talk about a sound for your project, i'd love to see what i can do!
