Casimir Geelhoed (NL, 1995) is an electronic musician, composer and software developer who explores expressive relations between software and sound. Recurring themes in his work are overstimulation, introspection and fragility. Often making use of self-developed software, he is interested in the poetic potential of sound material transformed through digital means.
Geelhoed has created performances and installations for various festivals, including CTM Festival, Sonic Acts, Rewire, Fiber Festival, SPATIAL and Aural Spaces. He has followed education in computer science, composition, music technology and sonology at the University of Amsterdam, the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and the Utrecht School of Arts. Casimir Geelhoed is one of the main software developers of 4DSOUND, an Amsterdam-based studio exploring spatial sound as a medium.

Borderlands
Spatial sound installation at Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, exhibition Ekstasis, curated by Sanneke Huisman and Nick Verstand. In collaboration with Anni Nöps. The spatial sonic landscape oscillates between real and fictitious, creating an environment that is continuously in-between, in progress and in flux, establishing an aural space at the edge of perception.
