Andre Namur

Musician, composer, recording and mixing technician, music producer, sound designer.

Since 1995 I have been working in the industry of original sound tracks for several means such as advertising, cinema, theatre, television, games, art installations and digital medium.

I originally started as a bassist and have always tried to create different sound languages and aesthetics for I believe that music can be anything: it can be noise, silence, chaos, calmness, it can be corny, it can be chic and so on. Music is indeed the free expression of feelings, ideas, besides being an invisible playwright narrating stories and conducting feelings and emotions to those it touches.  

Throughout my career, I've witnessed a rather substantial move in the means of sound production. The development and improvement of informatics, the creation of several music production softwares, have brought up a world of new tools totally accessible to everybody's creativity.

It's up to today composers, besides knowledge of the past and research of new tools, a new way of interacting with all this universe without fearing to experiment, leaving the automatic manner behind, abandoning their comfort zone.
