Albert van Abbe

A self-titled veteran ‘Sound Builder’ Albert van Abbe has just about covered the whole field of electronic music over the course of the last 20 years; from minimalistic sound installations to uncompromising hardcore acid productions, a long list of collaborative works, institutional partnerships and public projects with artists of various mediums add to an exciting list of performances both inside and outside the club. Having worked within the broader audio-visual arts field for nearly two decades, Albert van Abbe creates sonic architectures for intimacy, sensibility and movement. Spaces in which you can lose yourself and find oneself at the same time. He has a deep interest in the concept of synaesthesia, in addition to ongoing research in kinetic and spatial sound experiments. Albert van Abbe’s musical output can be perceived as deeply melancholic in one sense, and genuinely uplifting from another.
