Listen. Analyze. Deliver.

Sound engineering for productions that need overview, precision, and calm

Good sound starts with close listening and clear thinking. What does the room need, what does the artist need, where are the risks, and what has to be ready before the first case rolls in? I bring structure to complex productions, keep the quality bar high, and make sure the technology serves what is happening on stage.

Analysis before action: Riders, room acoustics, RF, networking, and planning are checked up front. Not to make things complicated, but to know what really matters
Reliable execution: Showfiles, frequency coordination, and network infrastructure are in order. I keep going until it is right and hold myself and the team to the agreements made
Human in the process: I listen to artists, technicians, and production. That keeps the crew steady, even when the day is busy or technically complex

Culture & Music

FOH & monitors with attention to the score, the room, and the people on stage. I work out what the production needs technically while staying close to the musical story.

Analysis of acoustics, line-up, and dynamics
Careful integration of surround and soundscapes
Calm communication with artists and production

Corporate & Conference

A business production needs clarity, timing, and reliability. I organize the technical side, protect the agreements made, and help speakers feel heard.

Clear preparation and planning
IT and network expertise for Dante and hybrid events
Recordings ready for post-production

Events & Festivals

From tight changeovers to complex outdoor productions. I keep the overview, solve problems at the source, and stay focused on the result.

RF, Dante, and system checks worked out in advance
Quick switching without losing the bigger picture
Own toolkit and measurement equipment

RAVE-L: a Classical Concert with a Club Layer

For RAVE-L, Holland Festival brought a large-scale production into the Grote Zaal at the Muziekgebouw. Les Apaches! played Ravel, Parrish Smith provided the electronic layer, and the room was reshaped into something between a concert hall and a club space. Not exactly a rave. I’ve been to raves, trust me.

Ex-Easter Island Head & Sun Kit: The Rest is Noise

The load-in started with quite a trek. Together with the members of Ex-Easter Island Head, we dragged their extensive instrumentation—from percussion and prepared guitars to stage mixers—straight through an empty Grote Zaal all the way to our workspace in the Kleine Zaal. There was an immediate connection with Ben, and the enthusiasm and camaraderie of these Scousers from Liverpool stood out right away. They were incredibly helpful, and the vibe was set from the start.

Casa Cadanza On Tour: Building a Theater in Dock 34

A standard theater usually has about two loading docks. At the Royal Lemkes plant distribution center in Bleiswijk, the Orange Rental truck casually backed into dock 34 and it wasn’t even the last one. Right there, surrounded by sea containers and scissor lifts in a massive industrial hall, we built a complete temporary theater for the finale of Casa Cadanza On Tour.

Wiegeling, a feast for all senses

The performance Wiegeling is an ode to the lullaby. In a soft, sheltered environment, Sterre Konijn (soprano), Rudi van Hest (clarinet), and Jaber Fayad (oud) engage in musical encounters with the young audience (6-18 months) and with each other.

Afternoon of a Nymph at Theater Rotterdam

A radical reimagining of Nijinsky’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, told from the perspective of the nymph rather than the faun. Seven dancers and a recomposed Debussy score by Jonathan Bonny explore power, identity, and perception. At Theater Rotterdam I ran the show as FOH engineer on an Allen & Heath SQ5, and mixed the performance to a standing ovation.

Amsterdam 750: The Invisible Nervous System

There’s a moment during the Amsterdam 750 finale where Edsilia Rombley’s voice filled the cathedral-sized tent on Museumplein, but she wasn’t there. The video feed cut to her standing on top of the Johan Cruijff Arena, singing live, her voice soaring across the city through our systems. For once, I wasn’t listening critically, wasn’t mentally adjusting frequencies or worrying about latency. Just goosebumps. The voice, the presence, the audacity of the production - it all just worked. Sounded and looked terrific.

European Foodservice Summit 2025

Fourteen speakers, one afternoon, and the delicate dance of fitting headset microphones in Cinema 1 of the Eye Filmmuseum. The European Foodservice Summit brought restaurant leaders from across Europe together for a day of insights into the future of hospitality.

Dekmantel aan 't IJ: Legendary Pioneers

Sometimes the most magical moments happen when you least expect them. Working as A2 for Dekmantel aan ’t IJ, I discovered that electronic music legends are refreshingly human.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed

The great thing about producing a live film score, is that they are passion projects almost by definition. Steven Kamperman’s rendition of The Adventures of Prince Achmed was no exception.
