Concertizing classical repertiore and composing instrumental and electronic music for dance companies, he existed as such through his early thirties. After receiving music degrees in his native Netherlands and having studied at the University of Illinois, he moved to New York City in 1993 to briefly study at the Manhattan School of Music, teach cello to little girls, assist nonagenarian electronic music pioneer Otto Luening, and become the other ½ of the Books.
