Yvory
Producer • Teacher • DJ • Visual Artist
My main interest goes out to electronic dance music. But at the conservatory of Amsterdam I have been educated
in classical-, jazz- and world music as well. This way I have acquired a wide orientation in different styles of music.
I like to apply my knowledge of all the different types of music in my classes and education methods.
ABOUT ME
I was born in Hilversum in the Netherlands. When I was six years old I started learning to play the piano.
When I was twelve I began writing songs to sing and play with my guitar.
At the age of 14 I made my first electronic dance track.
I believe that every person who makes music should be able to express themselves and create what they feel is right. Music is a language and everyone's dialect is different.
In my opinion there is also no good and bad music in the world. Music is the repetition of sound, in any way what so ever. Musical taste is created by discovering and relating to what you hear, nothing more.
The Things I Do
My main activities are teaching, producing, visuals/filmmaking and dj'ing. I have been teaching classes and a few workshops at schools, mostly minors. I have worked at a few asylum centers, organizing musical activities like band improvisation.
Aside from that I'm active on YouTube and volunteer at two studios
My YouTube channel
On my YouTube channel I have a history of making short films. I stopped that a few years ago because I wanted to focus more on music. Now I'm combining the two by making after movies and visualizers. Nowadays I tend to make comedy sketches and tutorials as well.
Simbiosis Studio
I've met the lovely people who started simbiosis studio a few years ago. I've helped them with visual editing and the organization of parties and dj streams. If you want them to record you playing a dj set, check out their website as well!
The Funky Cat
For two years now I have also been helping at the funky cat. They are an organization organizing party's at "De Helling" in Utrecht. The idea behind these parties it that there are multiple different genres played, so a lot of variety and the merging of styles.
