Roland Kuit
composer/researcher/sound designer
At the age of six, he received his first piano and recorder lessons and started making his first improvisations with these instruments. The tape recorder at home was used to record these sessions. Other instruments, like the violin and trombone got his attention too during these recordings. He started to record all kinds of noises. He gave up recorder lessons and started playing the flute at the age of eleven. One year later he was accepted at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. His teachers were Mirjam Nastasi and Marijke Bakker. After playing Baroque music, his interest went via Debussy, Fauré to the more modern composers like Escher, van Dijk, Fukushima. He started to explore jazz and pop music too and electronic music caught his interest. After a short study at the Vrije Academie in The Hague, painting and graphics, he went to the Institute for Sonology in Utrecht. There he studied analogue modular sound design and composition by Jaap Vink and Frits Weiland. VOSIM by Werner Kaegi and Fortran V music by Gottfried M. Koenig and Stan Tempelaars (1981-1985). He became involved in making sound art. Numerous expositions would follow. Later on he went to Paris to study interactive composition and acoustics at the IRCAM by Kaija Saariaho and Philippe Manoury (2000). His favourite instruments are the Nord Modular and the G2 made by Clavia. In 2010, he started painting again. Minimalistic and fundamental textures on canvas. Presently, he is artistic director and teacher at e-LAB.
