I am a Dutch sound artist currently living in Bergen, Norway. My artistic practice focuses on the sonic arts through recordings and audiovisual live electronics. Under the pseudonym Tapage, I have released music on various internationally renowned record labels. Currently, my music is published by the German record label AntZen. In the past, my music has appeared on labels such as Tympanik Audio, Adnoiseam, Moving Furniture Records, Point Source Electronic Arts, Meta4 Recordings, and countless others.

For many years I was employed at STEIM (The Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music in Amsterdam). Within my position as a producer of events and as a member of their artistic board, there were many opportunities to initiate projects. Where possible, my approach was to establish connections between the residency programs, workshops, concerts, research agendas, and the educational events that STEIM initiated throughout the years.

My artistic vision revolves increasingly around audio-visual approaches to live-electronic music, with a particular interest in exploring chaotic processes. I am finishing up my research, Tipping Points, as a Ph.D. in Artistic Research at the Music Department of the University of Bergen. Through this artistic research program, the opportunity arose to connect to the broader Norwegian network of musicians, composers, visual artists, coders, makers, designers, and other creative researchers. I have been fortunate to join several boards, including Playdate, nyMusikk Bergen, DIKU, and research-oriented boards within the KMD/UiB.
