stage/prod manager, keyboard tech and electronic artist
Being an established and well respected music tech and touring veteran, Wim Daans has a reputation for blurring the lines between artistry, production and technology.
In his early years he toured the world playing synths for several EDM bands like the notorious Lords of Acid, and achieved kult status with his ambient solo-project Karma de la Luna.
Later on he shifted his focus and worked as a sound designer, studio producer, backline technician, playback engineer, video editor and more recently as stage/production manager and global consultant.
In all of those positions, Wim's passionate love and extensive use of music technology has always been his main drive. He likes to take care of all things MIDI, MADI, virtual instruments, digital audio, timecode, clicktracks and other electronic wizardry happening on modern live productions.
His vast experience in the music industry really shows when running productions where he manages to inspire and motivate his team to bring out the best from everybody involved.
As a sound designer and electronic artist, Wim is obsessed with synthesizers, both hardware and software. He owns a pretty big Eurorack modular system that he uses for things like classic analogue tracking or creating advanced and experimental evolving soundscapes .
WIM DAANS SECRET HEADQUARTERS : A PROJECT & SOUND DESIGN STUDIO
"I see myself as a technical-artistic explorer, a seeker, and a human being in progress. I take pride to execute my job with great responsibility, initiative and enthusiasm, and the never-ending challenge that fast evolving technology offers me, allows me to push boundaries, think outside of the box and come up with innovative solutions. Basically I like to work with creative, friendly, down-to-earth people on exciting new projects to make interesting things happen."
