Edwin van der Heide lives in Rotterdam. He studied sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He has given performances all over the world as a composer and performer of electronic music and has created and exhibited various sound installations. The under-lying theme of these works is to develop new musical instruments, new techniques for performance, and new methods of sound gene-ration/production to develop new musical language. Van der Heide is also a member of Sensorband, a group that gave performances using sensor-based instruments at the ICC in 1997. Together with Marnix de Nijs he won honorary mention in the interactive art cate-gory of the Ars Electronica in 2001 for the Spatial Sounds project.
