Over

I am a multidisciplinary shapeshifter exploring the potential of sound, video, and performance. My work is experimental, navigating the space between reality and imagination to explore identity, perception, and vulnerability through technology. As a musician, I compose, design sound, and improvise vocally; as a visual artist, I craft abstract video, projection-based installations, and text-based art. I create simulations and machines to reveal hidden, overlooked, and unexplored realities and relations. My artist persona, duality, reflects my manifesto: embracing both nature and technology as forces of true innovation. My work has been guided by personal experiences, philosophy, metaphysics, feminism, hybrid human-machine relationships, deep listening, traditional Turkish singing, mindfulness, and lucid dreaming.

I love learning as much as I love teaching! If you are looking for an alternative, experimental, friendly teacher I am here for you!

Sonic Alchemy: Designing Sounds from Field Recordings

75 $ /h

In this class, we’ll start by exploring your surroundings through field recording and use them as material for composition. Then we’ll bring those recordings into a digital audio environment and process them using experimental sound design techniques. We will explore the potential of sound together and learn how to listen for opportunities. By the end, you’ll have your own custom sound palette and the skills to create unique atmospheres that are unique to you. We will create textures, atmospheric sounds, instrument racks, and even drum racks!

This class is perfect for you if you want to have your own unique sound. Don't pay for samples, make your own.

Introduction to TouchDesigner: Understanding the Basics of Video Art

87 $ /h

TouchDesigner is a powerful visual programming environment used for creating real-time generative art, interactive installations, and audiovisual performances. In this beginner-level class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the interface, how to use operators (TOPs), and how to build your first real-time visual system from scratch.

We’ll focus on an intuitive and creative workflow — learning by making. You’ll leave with a basic understanding of how to manipulate visuals, respond to sound input, and start experimenting with your own interactive environments. No coding experience required — just curiosity and creativity.

You often spend time behind your computer, sound modules, synths or MIDI devices to create solid beats, a hypnotic groove, dreamy soundscapes or a compelling story. In short, you've been bitten by electronic music. You want to take your sound to a higher level, but you still have questions about the quality of your sound, live performance, synthesizers, music theory, increasing listenership, acoustics, about your software, etc... You've come to the right place address if you have such questions. I would like to help you so that you can achieve your musical goals faster and in an efficient and budget-friendly manner.

What do I offer?
- Lessons on the following Digital Audio Workstations (DAW): Reason Studios, Ableton Live, Reaper, Fruity Loops
- Lessons about sound synthesis (Sound Design) via synthesizers, drum machines and effects

Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. Music has always been my way of exploring the world — through raw field recordings, synthesis, and emotional storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I’ve developed a complete, self-sufficient creative process: from concept to composition, sound design to vocal production, mixing, mastering, and live performance. I’m passionate about helping others gain those same end-to-end technical skills — so they can bring their own musical vision fully to life.

As Malvae, I’ve written, sung, recorded, produced, mixed, mastered, and performed all of my work. My music reached #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathered millions of streams, and featured in international film productions including King of the Streets and Netflix’s Terrace House Japan. One of the most formative moments in my career was my Amazonas album project, where I traveled into the Amazon rainforest to record and manipulate natural sounds. 90% of that album was created entirely from these field recordings, reshaped through granular synthesis and advanced sound design into a cohesive sonic journey. That experience deeply shaped how I approach my music and how I teach sound design and composition.

I’ve headlined shows at iconic venues like Melkweg Amsterdam with immersive, self-built audiovisual live sets using Ableton Live, modular gear, sequencers, and Resolume for live integrated visuals. I curated my own events and performed at venues like A’dam Tower, OT301. I also teach at studios such as Wisseloord in Hilversum, guiding students through the technical and creative intersections of sound and performance.

Selected Works & Collaborations:

My EP Like Bees to a Hive began as a soundscape for fashion brand Lobomar’s collection Final Orders, Please, presented at the Amsterdam World Museum. I collaborated with South African poet Julia-Beth Harris, integrating her spoken word into a seamless, atmospheric release. From sequential Prophet 6 textures to ADX1 drum machine layers and detailed field recordings, I handled every layer, from concept through multitrack production to the final live performance in London.

My Chrysalis EP, released as a limited-edition heavyweight red vinyl, pushed that even further, combining ethereal vocals, analog grit, and unique textures to craft an emotionally rich release. I personally led every part of the project’s technical and creative execution, from arrangement and vocal production to final mixing, mastering and vinyl press preparation.

In addition to my own projects, I’ve worked as a vocal producer and mixing engineer, including on Esther Veen’s EP Before I Go, where I handled recording, complex vocal layering, creative processing, production, multivocal arrangement and final mixing to deliver a polished, high-impact sound.

About the lessons:

My sessions are fully customised to your experience level, goals and grounded in real-world music production. Whether you’re just getting started or want to deepen your technical ability, you’ll learn how to develop professional workflows and the creative independence to finish what you start.

We can explore:

- Building advanced music production workflows and creative strategies
- Recording, Composition, arrangement, and storytelling through sound
- Full-stack mixing and mastering — from bedroom setups to pro-level delivery
- Synthesis and sampling — from sound shaping basics to high-level manipulation
- Multi vocal production, vocal recording, editing, layering, FX, and creative processing techniques
- Translating your music into a compelling live set with Ableton Live
- Applying music theory practically in electronic, cinematic, and contemporary music

Lessons are available online or in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use high-quality real-time tools that allow us to collaborate with full-resolution audio directly from your DAW — no screen sharing limitations, just real work in real time.

My own musical path often started by blending the sounds I encountered in the world, whether from distant rainforests or my own voice , into something personal and expressive.
I found my sound that way, and I’d love to help you find yours.

(And don’t worry — we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to do it. I’ll show you how to turn the sounds you already have into something truly your own.)

Whether you're just starting out or ready to go deeper, I look forward to helping you grow through structured, creative, and technically grounded electronic music education.

I will teach you how to make a song starting from absolutely nothing until you have a finished product that you can release. You will need Logic Pro X to take my class. You don’t need any knowledge of music theory, nor instrument skills. If you do have a grasp of the basics, I can deepen your skills.

If you've ever wanted to record your own song, make a beat, create a musical demo, or bring a musical idea to life, you'll need some basic knowledge of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and how music recording works.
I can help you set up your home studio and guide you step-by-step through using Ableton Live or FL Studio.

If you don’t have a background in music theory, no worries — I’ll also introduce you to the basics of music theory and piano playing. This will give you the tools to create your own music from scratch, without needing to go to a studio — everything can be done right from your home.

During the lesson, we can create a beat or work on an idea you’d like to turn into reality.
My goal is to give you the tools that will help bring your musical ideas to life.
