About me

Timon Persoon profiles himself as a sound poet and concept artist, creating sound and music for contexts like live performances, theater, dance and film. He shapes sound like a poet would shape words. With the use of field recordings, analogue synths and acoustic instruments he creates atmospheric music that appeals to the imagination.

Besides melancholic dark layers, contrast and imperfection elicit the unexpected in his work. It is the unexpected that awakens the listener’s attention, making it both flow and focus. Stimulated to listen actively, a communion arises between music maker and listener. Together they meander through a wakeful dream of wonder and exploration.
