A string instrument, in a room built for machines.
Live viola over a DJ set — clubs, festivals, rooftops and after-parties.
I play over what is already on the decks.
Not a show dropped on top of your night. I listen to the set, find the key, and build lines over the track that is playing. Nobody stops dancing. They just start feeling something real underneath the track — an instrument played live, in the same room, a few metres away.
I come from the conservatory, not from a crossover act. That is the point: the training is real, and so is the room.
Different rooms, different sets
More sets on Instagram.
For the technician
One line, and I am in.
I bring my own pickup and wireless system, so I am not tied to a stand and can move between the booth and the floor.
What I bring
Acoustic viola · My own pickup · Wireless transmitter · Spare cable
What I need
One free line input · The set list or genre in advance · Ten minutes of soundcheck
The set
Over one DJ, or across several · Planned together beforehand · Techno, house, afro, melodic
The genre is not the point. Making something happen in the room is.

If you are programming a night
It is not a support slot
Nothing is taken away from your DJ. I come in over the set and leave when it makes sense, so the night keeps its shape.
Something to photograph
An acoustic instrument in a dark room reads instantly on camera. It gives your night an image that is not another booth shot.
I travel
Based in the Netherlands and I play anywhere in Europe. One viola, one case, no backline — if it takes a flight, it takes a flight.
