bio
In his music, Janco Verduin (1972) draws from concepts from a vast range of
sources: software engineering, neurosciences and psychology, nature, physics and biology,
visual arts and of course, all music known to us. With everchanging sound constellations he
explores the human perception of sound, structures and meaning we give to it.
After his studies in Industrial Product Design,
Music
Technology
and a short career as a 3D software engineer, Verduin studied at the Royal Conservatory The
Hague with Louis Andriessen,
Martijn Padding,
Gillius van Bergeijk, and
Richard Ayres.
After getting his Master in 2009, he has been working as a freelance composer. He also likes
to paint abstracts and create computer animations as visual 'soundtracks' for some of his
music.
