About

am Marc van Mourik (1977). A freelance producer, performer, and klankmasseur — a word I chose because my work with sound goes beyond music. It touches.

I have been making music since I was four. Later, I trained in mechanical engineering and music technology composition (HKU, 1999–2002) — a combination of machines and music that still shapes how I work today. Technical precision meets deep intuition. An ability to listen before playing, to create rather than just compose.

Early in my career, I composed for clients like Philips, Bosch, and Heijmans. Tight deadlines and specific briefings taught me how to focus energy and deliver under pressure. Structure often fuels creativity. But over time, I gained the confidence to release the music I wanted to make myself — and I discovered that beauty lies not in perfection, but in the human, with all its vulnerability.

Pure Linear Flow is the step where I let go of the net. The space between the notes is where I listen and feel what comes next. The flow is always there — sometimes gentle, sometimes searching, sometimes powerful when it needs to be. Sometimes I venture into a passage that's just beyond reach. Sometimes I find my way back, sometimes something entirely new emerges. And sometimes the moment asks for silence.

My natural way of communicating is without words. I let feeling speak through the music. That is my distinguishing strength. The music itself is the message.

Timeline — Twenty Years In One Line

Twenty years of free improvisation — first always with the studio's safety net, ultimately without.

Beginnings 2001 - 2006

HKU School of Arts. First steps in the studio. Music for people, brands and companies. Always with the safety net: editing, refining, polishing until it was perfect. Composing for brands like Philips, Heijmans, Kröller Müller Museum, Bosch. Pianist theatre impro. Start experimenting with 432 Hertz production.

The deepening years 2007 - 2020

A demanding chapter in my life taught a different kind of listening. Fewer notes, more weight. What remained when everything loose fell away turned out to be the most valuable. The craft stayed; the intention deepened. Producing music for yoga and meditation teachers. 50hrs Foundation on Ayurveda. Start releasing studio tracks on Spotify. Technical writer. Starting label Soundtracks to Relax.

The shift 2021 - 2025

Gradually, something moved. I learned to appreciate the pure and personal side of my own music. And discovered that beauty lies not in perfection, but in the human — with all its vulnerability. Graduated Cum Laude Music Producer & Audio engineer. Certified Peter Hess® Sound Practioner.

Letting go 2026 -

Weekly improvisations appear on Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud — free, unfiltered. Plus a monthly live stream: 45 minutes, one take, no second chance.

The Paradox

Surface Behind it
Vulnerability, risk, openness, unpredictability Twenty years of experience, professional studio, mixing and mastering

The vulnerability isn't a lack of skill — it's the choice not to use that skill as a shield. It's this: I could be perfect, but I choose the real.
