MENGELMOES

“Mengelmoes” is a concept that I developed in 2022. It is a solo project where the viola is combined with synthesizers and live electronics, creating a kaleidoscope of melancholic and colourful soundscapes.

I love introducing the viola to the audience in a unique and experimental way, whilst simultaneously bridging the gap between different styles of music. Besides classical and electronical elements, my music also consists of elements of minimal music; ambient music; Arabic music, and cinematic music. All in all, it’s a Mengelmoes of different music styles and sounds.

Mengelmoes has taken place at numerous festivals and locations in 2022, such as Grachtenfestival, Splendor Amsterdam and Lavafest.

Mengelmoes was also given the opportunity to create the music for the eight-part Youtube documentary series ‘KiKa Stories’ by KiKa (the Dutch childhood cancer foundation), which sheds a light on different aspects of childhood cancer. The documentary was released in September of 2022.
