About
​
Raised in a militarized rural village, Sebastian developed a love for the sound of peace and dirt.
​
He studied classical music and communication sciences at the university of Leuven, graduating with an analysis of humor in the music of Frank Zappa. (Does Humor Belong in Music?)
​
Later he graduated as a master of fine arts at the RITCS, specialising in Radio. Here he focussed on the narrative functions of sound and the use of fieldrecording in storytelling.
​
He composes music for dance and theatre performances and makes podcasts and live radio, always with a special sensitivity for the emotional and narrative impact of sound and music.
​
He also makes audioguides and does studio work (recording, sounddesign, mixing) for third parties.
With the collective Varkenshond he plays traditional and ritual music from around the globe, with self-build and manipulated instruments.
​
For the Sonic Research Kithcen he scrutinizes the sounds of objects and records social interactions in the city and local natural eco-systems.
​
With the Megaphone Ensemble and the Collective Public Sound, he makes site-specific performances, invading space with sound.
​
As such he plays with the field itself, be natural or cultural, using the properties of architecture and geology, as if they are build-in sound-effects (resonance, reverb, panning and space).
Currently he is focussing on the sound of erosion, exploring the effect of these processes on matter and on memory.
