Kasatura

2006-2012 · Thrash Metal

For six years I lived on stage with Kasatura.
Thrash metal meant speed, mistakes, and adrenaline.
One EP, two singles.
150+ shows, countless studio hours, underground venues and festivals...
What I learned there wasn't music,
it was how to create under high pressure.

Raven Woods

2011 · Black Metal

I joined Raven Woods for a black metal album recording and a few shows.
This project was different from Kasatura: more introspective, more atmospheric, more ritualistic.

House & Tech House

Between 2012–2016 my nights were spent in clubs.
As a DJ I played house and tech house.
There was no stage; I was in the crowd.
That's where I learned how music transforms a room, an audience, and a moment.

Media Technology MSc

I did my master's in Media Technology at Leiden.
An interdisciplinary program where art, science, technology and philosophy merged into a single creative practice.

I worked with code, sound, image and the physical world: algorithmic music, generative visuals, interactive installations powered by sensors and motors.

At the same time I explored the boundaries between humans and artificial creatures, consciousness and algorithms, reality and simulation.

This was where I started using technology not as a tool,
but as a form of expression and thinking.

Photography

While living in the Netherlands, photography entered my life.
Streets, landscapes and light...
I learned to see, to frame, and to wait.
I forgot my password but the photos are still there.

Novaponics

I co-founded Novaponics with two friends.
We were rethinking how food could be produced in urban environments using vertical farming technology.

We grew over 50 different greens;
worked with fine dining restaurants, next-generation chefs and creative ventures.

In the process we weren't just building a product, but operations, supply chains, customer relationships and survival instincts.

When the pandemic hit, everything stopped suddenly and we had to shut down the company.

Novaponics taught me how ideas are tested against the real world — those lessons are still in every project I do today.
