Joris de Man

Joris de Man is a Dutch composer and sound designer living in the UK. Born in the Hague in 1972 into a musical family, his father was a professor at the Hague Royal Conservatory and a well known contemporary composer, his mother an internationally acclaimed Harpsichordist.

Joris' own passion for music started with the violin. He joined the Gymnasium Haganum’s School Orchestra a year before attending school there. He would later exchange the violin for a synthesizer and computer, embarking a search for musical identity which would lead Joris from hard edged industrial to ambient, electronica and everything in between, though never leaving his classical roots too far behind.
