As so many people , I’m not sure as how to describe what I do . Basically I see myself as a technical-artistic person , a MIDI-keyboard technician , a DIY studio engineer and producer , a sound designer , a graphic artist , a philosopher , a seeker , and a human being in progress .
I like to take on new challenges and widen my horizon . I’m working freelance . This seems to be the most natural choice to go with my independent personalty .
I live in Belgium , where I also have my home studio , but I like to take on international tours as well .
I have a wife and 2 little kids , so I’m choosing the shorter and medium sized tours in order to maintain a healthy family life .
I love modern technology , and like to program all sorts of software based machines ( computers , workstations , beatboxes , MIDI setups , consoles , etc ..... ) I don’t believe that everything used to be better in the old days , and consequently I’m not into vintage equipment at all .
I’m totally into the future , science fiction , fantasy and space . I like to dream about how the world and technology will evolve over the next decades or even centuries . As a result of looking forward all the time , I tend to forget what happened in the past . I think that’s probably in everybody’s interest ... :-) ...
Most of the time I work as a backline technician , specialised in programming keyboards and running computers on stage .
In my spare time I like to toy around with photoshop , 3D programs and video editing software .
I am still in the early stages of learning , and for now most of my experiments are for personal satisfaction only , but I see myself developing more skills over time and hopefully I’ll start getting a few jobs out of it in the future .
I already delivered a few animated visuals for the performance of TEXAS on the Night of the Proms show , and I’m involved in an interesting graphic project called Mandala Corporation .
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re in need of anything visual , like projections , CD-covers , posters , whatever ... I’m in for a challenge !
In a nutshell : I like to work with nice , friendly , down-to-earth people on exciting new projects and make interesting things happen .

All the best ,
Wim
