ABOUT
Thank you for checking out my site. I’m originally a Dutch audio engineer, music producer, pianist and composer living in London since 2004. Before commiting to music, I've studied Industrial Design (Bsc) in Delft (NL). There I enjoyed playing keys for several student bands like, Catweasel, The Hermes House band and Sigs! as well as being involved in performances for dutch and international artists like Antonie Kamerling and Gloria Gaynor.
While in the Netherlands I collaborated with Wiboud Burkens, Ewout Ongering, Arjen Rooijackers, Christiaan Maats, Jurgen Perier, Jamie Westland, Pablo Penton, Henk Temming. After following a producers course at the IAB in Utrecht I developed a taste for a deeper understanding of the audio world and I decided to move to London where I enrolled in the MA Audio Production at the University of Westminster in 2004 to give my music career a fighting chance.
I've been grateful to have been involved in collaborations with Tara Macdonald, Sarah West and Beanie Bheps featuring their performances for the final project (rewarded with distinction). After finishing the course I was offered a position as technician (2007-2012) for the then brand new course Bmus in Music Performances.
The job provided a great opportunity to meet many diversly talented musicians/academics and a platform to learn the ropes about studio tech, engineering, music production and studio protocols. I was also asked to be a visiting lecturer for the MA Audio Production as wells as the BA in Mixed Media. As technical staff I have been awarded with the student appreciation award.
During this time I decided to commit to following an extensive Protools training for Music and Postproduction at Alchemea and SSR succeeding in being certified by Avid as a Protools Music Expert as well as a Protools Post Operator since 2013. I also wanted to find a way to merge my interest in music and my background in Industrial Design which resulted in following the part time MA in Design Studio at Central Saint Martins, Univeristy of the Arts. The journey created a platform for a deeper understanding about the interaction of people and sound using applied robotics.
Since 2013 I have chosen to work freelance and have been running my own project studio at Palm Recordings, North London, and have joined the Music Producers Guild as a MPG full member. Projects include music for advertising campaigns for Vodafone and Nokia. I've had the pleasure of working with great people over the years like Troy D'antunes (Justin Timberlake) mixing Blue’s Funky Viva Remix Single for their 2011 Euro Vision Song Festival EP “I Can, as well as working with Jan Cyrka. As Protools Editor, I was also involved in a 28 track production with Guy Massey and Ion Metsovitis for Paul McCartney’s Wings Over America tour DVD and movie release.
I hope I can contribute and am looking forward to meeting you. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your project needs.
Best wishes,
Coenraad.
