'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!

jeugd en muziek
Since 2023, i started working as a music coach for the organization jeugd en muziek that reaches out to all Brussels children and youth and empowers them with music and sound art. yhey focus on the Dutch language.
For more info on J&M:

my approach
i use my background as a screenplay
writer to translate storytelling
techniques into sound/music
i use my field recorder to make
samples of my surroundings
(my cat, the church, birds)
and process them into percussion,
soundscapes, melody's, to add a more textured and personal touch
i gravitate towards a dreamy, playful and sometimes whimsical vibe -- yet i enjoy sumberming myself in a slightly dark pool of electronics
my personal project
i'm currently working on my personal project called lizakilledlisa: bedroom produced tunes that combine neo-r&b with dreamy indiepop. i'll give birth to this baby in the form of an EP in 2025
