Donemus Webwinkel — Kuit, Roland

Composer/Sonic artist Roland Emile Kuit started his research in the electroacoustic field after studying flute at the Royal Conservatory, The Hague. He signed up for research in analogue studio techniques, computer and formalized music at the Instituut voor Sonologie in the 1980’s in Utrecht, the Netherlands. His teachers included Gottfried Michael Koenig, Jaap Vink, Werner Kaegi, Frits Weiland, Paul Berg and Stan Tempelaars. Private lessons by Dick Raaijmakers followed. The IRCAM in Paris provided an environment to experiment with new approaches in acoustic music composition and offered the opportunity for research of physical modeling in spectral music. Kuit was taught by Kaija Saariaho and Philippe Manoury. Roland Emile Kuit maneuvers on the intersection of art, music and science. Kuit introduced audio art to the installation area, a metamorphosis from the traditional speaker boxes into 'sonic spaces' and has taught this at the Vrije Academie The Hague, the Netherlands. Kuit’s work ranges from experimental sound-architectural installations to acousmatic performances and composing for site-speciffic spaces. His work has been centered on creating chaotic systems and sound at atomic levels by structuring processes using algorithmic and stochastic approaches.

Roland Emile Kuit lectures, performs/exhibits at universities, art galleries, museums and creative hubs in Europe, U.S.A., Asia, Russia and the Baltic States.
