Improvisation connects these different settings, allowing musical ideas to develop through encounters with other performers.

His collaborations also include Antípodas, where movement, imagination and somatic practice meet composition in the moment.

Practice & experience

Marc Nukoop is an independent musician and sound artist whose work spans raw acoustic experimentation and refined digital composition. With a background in classical guitar, recorder, and electric bass, their path into sound began with everyday objects and grew into complex multi-track production. The work is often atmospheric, a soundtrack to an imaginary film, inviting listeners into spaces beyond language. A graduate of the School for New Dance Development, Marc creates sound-scores for dance and theatre, shaping the mood, rhythm, and narrative that carry a performance forward.

Creates sound-scores for dance and theatre, drawing on acoustic objects and digital composition.

Collaborator in Iris van Peppen | Co, founded in 2017; credited in Landscaping Landscapes in 2022.
