Boris Bezemer's music strikes an expressive balance between structure and chance, the standing leg and the playing leg. Growing up observing life and biking through the rainy forests of Gelderland, he would play guitar, program computers and dream of being an inventor.
He moved to Amsterdam where he now surrounds himself with electronic music, accordion music, organs, orchestras and opera: all attempts to answer the desire for the unfamiliar, that element of strangeness that's so essential for romance. Bezemer composes worlds of sound accommodating multitudes that flow continuously, comforting with turbulence, accepting chaos and combining scattered voices into magical environments.
