Engineering
Designed for the IN, optimized for the Out
Combining my experience as a technician on shows, with my degree in mechanical engineering, I am able to come up with solutions tailored to the entertainment industry. From simple transport carts and dollies that are truck sized and quick to deploy on site – to custom made PCB’s, 19 inch equipment and complex engineering.
Creating solutions that are robust, reliable, fast and above all: tailored to the needs of the fast moving entertainment industry.
Live show work
From:
– Patching a small band on a festival or an orchestra in a theatre
– Flying (or stacking) big and small PA’s
– Wiring it all up together and making it work, both physically and digitally
I am experienced in all different skills in live audio, making sure the show gets set up and executed as planned. And if necessary, being able to improvise and implement a solutions on the go.
Some highlighted gigs are:
In 2024, the company I was working for (Story Event Engineering) got requested to supply the Lenny Kravitz Blue Electric Light tour with their JBL VTX A12 PA, as well as some accompanying technicians. Within the company I got selected for this role, as I had always shown a keen interest in touring, as well as a good understanding of the system we would be taking out on the road. I took care of prepping the arena package at our shop to the requests of the SE (Frank Müller) and then deploying it on the tour. On the festival shows we would be supplementing the core audio team with their duties.
After a successful first run in 2024 we were asked back for the next two runs in 2025 and 2026.
As part of the Dutch Armed Forces, the “Johan Willem Friso” Royal Military Band is an orchestra consisting of 50 musicians divided over percussion, brass and woodwind sections. As part of the audio team I perform multiple roles on a show day. First with rigging and flying the PA and setting up the amp racks, going on to place and wire up the stage racks and other gear. To then setting up mics and mic stands, placing them on the stage as well as patch them. They play a variety of different shows, from theaters and outdoor, to sporting halls and special events.
Engineering Projects
Engineering is, just like live shows, in my blood. From 19 inch panels, to custom designed transport carts for PA array frames, nothing is too big, too small or too complicated. I am a one stop shop for both design and manufacturing, going from an idea on paper to being on the road to the show. Understanding tight deadlines and that the show must always go on needs no explanation here.
