Bio and Interests
Greek roots. In the sixties raised in Palo Alto, California, US; and in the seventies in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Although inspired by great artists and tutors of all times, from Nina Simone to Johan Sebastian Bach,
my "game" is about being autodidact and independence.
Having said that, collaboration is of the essence.
I love sincere, open minded connections with people. I love nature. I love natural sciences.
I love logic. And I love Love itself, in all its varieties.
Pitching my music
I am pitching towards Film and other Entertainment Industries, and towards various types of Arts as well.
Journey of Music and Technology
My journey is one of hybrid forms combining instrumental and electronic music.
I used to work with true analogue equipment (e.g. analogue synthesizers, for example the semi-modular Korg PS3200) but the upkeep and maintenance of those gear is fairly troublesome this day and age. So in a way I am being forced to use digital apparatus, such as computers..
After several years of digital hell, sometimes due to system bugs but quite often human errors, I worked myself towards heaven "even without noticing this very process".
I discovered my creativity thrives best with random processes (.....)
In the year of 2022, I acquired the ASM Hydrasynth Desktop after twenty years of solely working with software synthesizers.
So after many years I am back in the hardware synthesizer game.
But only starting from May 2024, I am able to take the ASM Hydrasynth to
an entirely different level, because of the lately obtained Native Instruments Kontrol S88 MK3 MIDI controller / keyboard, featuring Polyphonic Aftertouch.
Background and whereabouts
I have been composer for over thirty years.
Coming from the classical music world, conservatory, oboe studies, I started working with different means in the eighties; electronic methods of composing and producing sound design and music.
Most of the time I have been working in The Netherlands, mainly for stage plays and ballet.
Since March 2025 my studio is based in Saronida, Attica, Greece.

Musically yours, Matthijs
