Researcher sound design, TU-Delft, Netherlands
Hello, I am a reseacher in sound design at the Industrial Design department of the TU-Delft.

For all the Dutch people: here is my "scriptie" about the use of sound in multi-media called
Geluid in multi-media
The English abstract (introduction and conclusions) is here
And here is a piece I wrote about "exterieur", a composition by the Dutch composer Jos Kunst
I studied Musicology in Utrecht, two years organ with Leo van Doesselaer in Amsterdam, Musictechnology and computer composition Rene Uijlenhoet, Barbara Woof & Hans Timmermans in Hilversum, and got my Masters (MultiMedia) at the Royal College of Art in London.
My interest in music is very diverse.
To quote the dutch composer Louis Andriessen:
"You don't have "good" music or "bad" music, but music with "good" notes and "bad" notes".
Here is a small list of favourite composers / groups (in random order)
J.N. Hummel, S Gubaidulina, T. de Leeuw, T. Bruynel, Fishbone, The Specials, and more..........
