Tamara van der Laarse is an Amsterdam based electronic music composer, educator, soundartist and creative producer. My multidisciplinary practice spans different disciplines, including producing and directing sound and music, creative production, performing, photography, djing, video and graphic design. I’m moving seamlessly between music, art, fashiondesign, tutoring and creating autonomous work.
I compose music for (live) fashionshows, art performances, (site-specific) installations, moving image, inter-/multidisciplinary productions. Creating a sonic world that becomes tangible by connecting with other art disciplines. Some of my work and performances have appeared at art nights, club- and museum nights and fashion shows
My music becomes the intersection between music and (performing) arts. I’ve been an educator/artistic music director at several art & fashion academies, for coaching (graduation) students or giving workshops.
As a creative producer she has curated art/club events for festivals, artnights and pop-up exhibitions. Full biography here
