Sander De Keere

Sander De Keere is a Belgian musician and composer of electronic minimal music, combining the charm of analog synthesizers with the melodic richness of classical music.

His first musical steps were as a classical guitarist and led him to study musicology at Ghent University, Belgium. Immersed by the history of art, he fell in love with the music of the American minimal composers, who gave a new meaning to the musical language. Composers like Terry Riley, Philip Glass or Steve Reich inspired Sander to make music based on repetitive patterns in a minimal style. The repetitive patterns in life and in music, that’s what his debut single Pulse is about.

The opera Einstein on the Beach of Philip Glass convinced me to buy my first synthesizer.

After graduating with a thesis about the (post)minimalism in the music of Philip Glass, Sander started working as a radio host for Klara, the Belgian national classical radio. These two worlds of classical music and electronic sounds come together in Sander’s music. Because just like organs in classical music, synthesizer define their sound by choosing and combining colors.
