The first full length release for Roel Meelkop on LINE, (To Be
Announced) showcases his amazing use of the sound field shuttling
across low elements, high frequencies, quiet movements, and jarring
unexpected loud events. (To Be Announced)'s unique "acoustic" sounds
and synthetic sounds makes repeated listening reveal a myriad layers
and juxtaposition.
Roel Meelkop (1963) studied visual arts and art theory at the Willem
de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. During a
post-graduate course at the same academy he decided to dedicate his
work to sound and music. His musical activities date back to the
early 1980s when he started influential group THU20, with Jac van
Bussel, Peter Duimelinks, Jos Smolders and Guido Doesborg. The
working method of THU20 included many discussions about how to
compose and why. This period was crucial in forming his ideas and
concepts about sound and how to organise it, but it was not until the
mid nineties that he was able to fully realise these ideas. The
purchase of a sampler and later a computer radically changed his
possibilities of working with sound, offering infinitely more control
and freedom. Since then he has worked steadily on a body of work with
releases on such labels as Trente Oiseaux (Germany), Staalplaat
(Netherlands) and Intransitive (US). His other activities include
working as a member of both Kapotte Muziek and GOEM with Peter
Duimelinks and Frans De Waard and organising sound events in
Rotterdam. Aside from releases, Meelkop also creates site-specific
sound installations, often in collaboration with other artists and
has performed live around the world.
