Hans van Eck (1958) received his formal training in Electronic Music from Jaap Vink and G.M. Koenig at the Institute of Sonology, and studied Musicology with Ton de Leeuw, Frits Noske and Leigh Landy at the University of Amsterdam. He graduated cum laude on a thesis about Johann Jacob Froberger. He took private lessons in compositional techniques from Daan Manneke.
He is one of the founders of the Schreck-Ensemble, where he plays an important role as the artistic leader and sound-director of the ensemble. As producer/recording-technician/composer he collaborated with Hans van Koolwijk in the realisation of the CD Bambuso Sonoro. He has become a regular guest at Van Koolwijk’s projects. Hans van Eck is one of the developers of the BassBox on which he performs many concerts. In 2009 he released the CD Bass Box.
From 1976 on he composes music for different scorings of instruments sometimes in combination with electronic sounds as well as pure electronic music. His works are performed by the Schreck Ensemble, the Aquarius Ensemble conducted by Lucas Vis and others, in Amsterdam (Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, Stedelijk Museum), Utrecht (Muziekcentrum Vredenburg), and in Germany (Lüneburg), Italy (Rome, Sassari), Spain (Granada, Sevilla), Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Rumania and Brazil. His large-scale music theatre work Nuctemeron is played many times in the period 2000-2008.
The music of Hans van Eck focuses on emotional appeal and colourful perspectives.
