I'm Rinus Aarts.
CEO / Boss / Head / Owner / Founder (or whatever you like to call it) of Speakerfood.
But mainly I'm a music composer, sound designer, mix engineer and the voice of a purple rabbit in a Dutch TV-series for children. Too bad my kids don't believe that.
Way back, in 1996, I got my university degree in Artificial Intelligence. Actually went to Penn State for a year to study how people move their arms. My big friend was "Pinky", a stick figure on a Macintosh SE that took 3 days to calculate how to point to a disc. Too bad I couldn't take him out for a beer.
But I was already fiddling with computers and MIDI since 1988. My first synth was the now legendary, amazing, fantastic - insert Superman theme here - Roland D-5. And my dream was to own a music studio. So I made every effort to make this happen, and so it happened and I've been running my studio since 2002.
I like make music and sound design for TV, film, events and musea.
But what I love most is working on projects with dedicated creatives, heaving a laugh, to celebrate succes, and to learn from failures. And in the end, dropping a whopper of an invoice on clients of course.
