Hello, I’m Tamara van der Laarse, 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. My work is moving between music, soundart, performing arts, fashiondesign, tutoring and creating autonomous work.
I can help you for creating, composing and producing a music concept for/with:
– music for (live) fashionshow, catwalk (couture / non couture)
– sound / music for art performances, (site-specific) installations
– collaborating with choreography / dancers
– moving image
– inter-/multidisciplinary productions
Some of my work and performances have appeared at art nights, club- and museum nights and many live fashionshows. Since 2010, I discovered that I have a great fascination for the symbiosis between fashion and sound, it started by assisting sound designer Salvador Breed with music research for the shows of Iris van Herpen. To become a music designer for fashion shows, fits me like a glove.
Since 2013 I’ve been an educator and artistic music director in higher education in art & fashion academies, for coaching students and young artists. See here an overview of fashion shows.
