Johan Van Barel writes music for film and television projects. He combines modern elements like samples and loops together with classical note for note midi composition.

From his childhood on Johan was fascinated by everything related to sound and vision. He becomes passionately interested in both the artistic and technical aspects of multimedia. During his engineering education, he studies applied arts and photography at the art-schools of Temse and Sint-Niklaas. His multidisciplinary approach feeds his interest in both the compositional and audio-technical aspects of music creation and production. Just being busy with images and sound is his driving force as multimedia artist.
