Biography

HUIBERT BOON

The Amsterdam based Huibert Boon (1966) is sounddesigner and composer of electro-
acoustical music.

Huibert Boon studied Dutch Literature and Musicology in Amsterdam. After graduation in
1992 he started a studio for sounddesign and music for film and multi-media. With his studio
he won the Great Prize (Golden Calf) of the Dutch Filmfestival for 'Best Sounddesign 2008'
("Winterstilte").

His first attempts in electroacoustics started at the age of 9, dismantling his father's
taperecorder trying to salvage a Moebius-ring constructed tapeloop which had miraculously
jammed deep inside the machine. This experience resulted in his great respect for the
uncomprehensible complexity of audio-equipment and the irresistable tendency to explore the
boundaries of acoustical richness of electronic devices.
Influenced by the main avantgarde pioneers (from Cage to Varese; from Zappa to Zorn) his
present musical activities focus on the integration of computer based sound synthesis with the
sound of pure electricity from analog electronic instruments (like the MOOG Voyager and Weezil sound generator) and the complex noises from ordinary life.

In 2009 Huibert Boon was invited by Peter Greenaway to join his stage for the Tulse Luper VJ
Performance, adding his rich electro-acoustic dimension to Greenaway's innovative Live
Cinema show.
