Jorge Caryevschi, flute

Ton Bruynèl was a Dutch composer. He studied from 1952 to 1956 with Wolfgang Wijdeveld at the Utrecht Conservatory, at the same time taking private composition lessons with Kees van Baaren. From 1957 he concentrated on electronic music, establishing his own studio, where he composed Reflexes (1960), based on manipulations of a recorded drumbeat. His Mobile, for two soundtracks, was awarded a prize during the Gaudeamus Music Week in 1966. Since then he has sought to refine the combination and blending of synthetic and acoustic sounds. For his achievements in this field his Chicharras and Adieu petit prince won prizes in 1986 at the Festival International de Musique Electroacoustique 'Synthèse' in Bourges.
Bruynèl has been interested in combining electronic music with other art forms. One such work, Signs, a collaboration with the artist Gérard van den Eerenbeemd, was played and exhibited at the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum. In 1997 Bruynèl was composing a video opera on the history of flying, using texts by the Dutch poet Bert Schierbeek.
