Marcel Bultman

Composer & sound designer

Proud to be a Tukker. Has been in recording studios since he was six years old. Did two years of studying composition and keyboards performance at the conservatoire. Despite all the good things he learned there, he felt something big was missing. So he changed to the Utrecht School of Arts to study music production, recording and sound design. Touché!

Since receiving his Master’s degree in Sound & Musictechnolgy he worked as a sound engineer, producer and composer. Tries (and manages) to surprise himself in his work on a daily basis.

Eelco Bakker

Composer & sound designer

Destroying his grandma’s turntable (and many more to follow) when still in diapers, it became evident that Eelco developed an unusual interest in music and music technology. At his parental home, he experimented with tape machines, cheezy keyboards, and even music programming on the Commodore 64. Eventually, he graduated at the Utrecht School of the Arts, meanwhile working as a live sound engineer and music producer before joining the FC Walvisch team.

Lea Jurida

Composer & sound designer

We proudly present: our first female sound designer. Coming from a family where 50% works as an engineer and the other half as a musician, Lea started experimenting with wires and instruments at an early age. Since her graduation at the Utrecht School of Arts, major in Sound Design, she worked on everything from museum installations to console games. If you live in the Benelux, chances are you already know her work. If you’ve ever watched one of the RTL channels, MTV, TMF or Comedy Central.

Lea is a good listener. Talk to her and she’ll reply with the sound you need.

Christiaan Unck

Composer & sound designer

Inspired by 60’s pop music and abusing his mom’s pots and pans, he decided to combine the constant music in his head with his passion for computers. A true nerd avant la lettre, Chris started making music on the Atari 2600 (2-channel bleep-bleep), Atari ST (3-channel pow-klatsch) and Commodore Amiga (4-channel blob-schwoong). After some years of decent formal schooling, he graduated at the Utrecht School of the Arts.
His experience as a web designer landed him a job as a sound & graphic designer and DVD programmer. But after 5 years he decided that for him, sound and music are the way. Leading him directly to the door of the FC Walvisch stadium where he now is known as Chruncky the carnaval-brabo.

Amina Ali

Creative Services & Operations

They often say: “You’re either an analytical type who enjoys logic and structure or a creative individual that focuses on the big picture.” So sorry to mention that she has never been able to choose as she rather enjoys both worlds.

After graduating in Business Economics she discovered the magic of Marketing. Her experience as Marketing/Communication and Operations Manager introduced her to a bunch of inspiring people that created some cool stuff in the advertising industry. It was time to take up a new challenge. After many hours of studying at the Academy, loads of brainstorm sessions and covering every available pixel on her screen, she knew what it was to be an Art Director.
So far… she fits well in the business and creative service model at FC Walvisch. However, at this point you must be asking yourself where is the link to a Sound Studio? Well, to make this story complete it must be mentioned that: when she was not working, she was expressing herself to the sound of music as a professional danser for many years. Music has been a creative source for her passion. Do we need to say more?

Bregje van der Loo

Traffic & Planning

Now based in Amsterdam… but when you hear her talking on the phone you can still hear the charming southern accent of Eindhoven where she was born.

If you need something to be done right and on time, leave it up to Bregje. She is well organized and very structured. And above all she knows what to do and when to do it!

Ten years ago she entered the creative branch and has never left the industry ever since. Bregje has worked for several advertising agencies as a traffic manager, project manager and producer during those years. However, she never realized how much she missed music around her, an absolute necessity in her life … that was untill now!!

Jasper Deen

Assistant line up and daily care

A born and bred media kid, Jasper has been listening to music for as long as he can remember.
He got bitten by the music production bug when he started studying multi-media and interaction design.After being an IT administrator, a technician at various clubs and venues, a DJ / promotor and (moonlighting as a) bass guitarist in various metal bands for several years, Jasper decided it was time to choose for music and sound design full time. At FC Walvisch Jasper will be wherever you need him. Thanks to his career, he basicallly knows something about everything.

Dick Swaneveld

Freelance technical assistent

Dick doesn’t know the first thing about sound design, but he knows everything and more about sound and about sound technology. It’s safe to say he sometimes understands the equipment better than the companies that made it.
