René van der Wouden

Live at the Dutch Electronic Masters Festival August 2024

Composer and producer from the Netherlands. Since 2005 I have released fifty-four albums of sequencer-driven Berlin School, space music and ambient, recorded with a large collection of analogue and digital synthesizers. The music draws on the Berlin School of 1975-1980 and on the work of Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.

Three tracks · released 11 December 2025

A set of pieces rooted in the Berlin School of the late seventies, combined with the wide, slow textures of classic space music.


Behind the music

On Patreon I share the work behind the albums: recording sessions, video and sound design. If you want to follow the music more closely, this is the place.
