Tamara van der Laarse is an Amsterdam-based sound artist, electronic music composer, and DJ. Her multidisciplinary practice spans formats including composing music, art performances, music releases, photography, and video. Van der Laarse’s performances have appeared at fashion shows, art nights, club- and museum nights. In her work, she analyzes different approaches using sound and music, working almost like a sound architect. As she studied audiovisual art and graphic design, she loves to design music conceptually, shaping her own sonic worlds. Making electronic compositions and sometimes using piano or cello sounds, as well as her archive of various field recordings, designing imaginary movie scores is what she loves most. Her work becomes the intersection between music and performing arts. Tamara has been an educator and artistic music director at several art academies, working with and mentoring art students.
