Music
I make music mostly with synthesized and processed sounds.
I like round brass objects.
I like randomness.
A lot of it is slowly evolving soundscaping, sometimes there are beats.
Some of it has been used for theatre or film.
We're working on getting some of this stuff released,
: but for now here are some links to my Soundcloud
Winterreise
I reworked many of the songs of Franz Schubert's Winterreise for our theatre production
Anthony Romaniuk played the piano accompaniment.

Persians
NTGent/Action Zoo Humain asked me to make sound and music for their production 'Perzen', première @ NTG, June 2024, and touring in 2025
A take on the Palestinian conflict, in the context of Aeschylos' tragedy. A research into empathy.
Chronophone
Wonderful locative audio project for Zonzo Compagnie.
Here is a demo of some of the music :

Thielemans x Romaniuk
I have been playing with the wonderful Anthony Romaniuk for a few years now.
He is an amazing keyboard player and not afraid of experiment.
We worked together on fragments of Schubert, for 'Zwart Gat Antarctica', recorded in the wonderful old Studio 3 in deSingel, Antwerp. (Thank you Nadar Ensemble!)
2025 promises some more exciting joint ventures.
We’ve done a few gigs in Belgium’s finest halls, and here are some recordings, made not so long ago :

Thielemans x Demeulenaere
My good friend Stijn Demeulenaere is a sound artist who works with field recordings.
We are working on new stuff, and here are the recordings we made together in quarantined times :
Thielemans x Tembuyser
Timo Tembuyser is a singer director architect performer. We got to know each other working on his Missa Mater Sola for Muziektheater Transparant, and more recently we were on stage together in The Mass Man.
Timo revisited the Missa in 2024, to play in Belgium and Holland.
We plan to work together on a recording of that piece in 2025.
Here is some of the Missa Mater choir of sons :
