Venja brings together the extremes of musical tradition.
The computer technology of the high-tech era together with the soft timbre of classically trained female singers. The two are finely balanced. When anyone accuses the creators of electronic music that their sounds are subdued and bizarre, Venja can teach them the error of their ways. Even though this musician considers himself to be a syntheziser purist.
Venja lives in the eastern part of Belgium and has an education into digital technologies and so he build his first intruments himself. The millions of sounds which he can entice out of these instruments fascinate him and fill him with enthusiasm. This is the raw material for his ?sound painting? much simular to the paint which painters place on their palettes.
?Combining sounds in the right way, i.e. using them in the right context and breathing live into them, this is what puts the harmony into my music?, he says.
