Two solo albums. Where my taste lives outside the service work. Contemporary electronic and experimental, played on the synths I've spent twenty years knowing inside out.
Composer and producer based in Brussels, working to picture for brand films, advertising, and screen. Over a decade of commercial credits, including BMW, SNCB, RTBF, Fedex, Peugeot, Danone, Ikea, OKAY, SPAR, Colruyt Group, Lesaffre, X2O and SPG. Classically trained flute player, but the real forte is my love for 80s synthesisers: original hardware, a trained ear for how each model behaves, and the patience to programme rather than preset. Equally comfortable with a 30-second piano piece for a supermarket campaign and an orchestral adventure cue for screen.
Founder of dB minor, an independent production music label whose catalogue is distributed through an international sub-publishing network. Six and a half years on the SABAM board, which is the polite way of saying I know what happens to your music after it airs — where, when, and at what rate. Member of IPMG. Currently writing a book on how background music shapes brand experience, consumer behaviour, and business results.
