A concise resume of some sorts

In the haydays of my youth - long-haired and dressed in seriously off-beat attire - I attended art schools, fiddling about with painting, sculpting, etching, glass-in-lead, and anything else riding on the edge of artistry.

Later on - still long-haired and still oddly dressed - I became a professional musician and composer, mainly working in the realm of electronic and experimental avant-garde music. Trained by great and kindred minds and composers like Andre Stordeur, Morton Subotnick and John Cage, I set about to conquer the world. That didn't really happen, but it was great fun working on albums, projects for film, theatre and performances for 15+ years.
I co-developed my own modular synthesizer, wrote little booklets about synthesis, instructed many people on how to use patchcords, and ended up being the private teacher for Marvin Gaye, working on the electronic parts of Sexual Healing, his epitaph of songs.

When I started to use computers for music-making in the early eighties, the circle came round and I curled back to the Fine Arts, albeit in a somewhat more digital environment. By the mid-eighties, I bought my first Macintosh, and never looked back since then.
First there were primitive b/w mega-prints with a 9-pin needle printer, then there was desktop publishing with a LaserWriter, followed by pre-press with a LinoType, UI- and software development for NeXT in Germany, Atari software- and font development, and finally a few of my own companies (design & advertising).

In September 1995 I published my first website. Since then - sheesh, that's a whole decade - I must have used up a gazitrillion <'s and >'s for clients like Sony, McDonalds, Heinz, several banks, DMB&B, the Church of Belgium, your local art gallery and about a terabillion other customers, both large and small.

Ever since the first paragraph of this silly resume, I have been passionate about photography. My first digital shot (VGA resolution) was with an Apple Quicktake 100, in 1996.
In the meantime, I learned to dress better, and lost all my hair.
