about

Roel Meelkop 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 eighties when he started THU20, together with Jac van Bussel, Peter Duimelinks, Jos Smolders and Guido Doesborg. THU20 released several tapes and CD's and performed regularly in Europe. The working method of THU20 included many discussions about how to compose and why. This period was crucial in forming Meelkop’s 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, most of which was recieved enthusiastically in the small but dedicated world of sound art. His other activities include working with Kapotte Muziek, Wieman (both with Frans de Waard) and Pierdrie (with Machinefabriek and video artist Marco Douma). Recently he has worked with filmmakers Esther Urlus and André Schreuders and long time friend and collaborator Jos Smolders (MeSm).
He has also been digging into the universe of modular synthesis, the results of which are still under close scrutiny.

lyrics

MODSONG is a short piece, exclusively built up with recordings of my modular synth, which I later mixed in my studio.
This track shows my love for gritty, unclean sounds, presented in a straightforward way without much effects being used. These days, I have developed a tendency to create longer pieces but this time my aim was to create a small work with open and dense qualities working together.
