Dutch keyboardist and sound designer Sjaak Overgaauw has been experimenting with synthesizers and samplers since the late 80's. In the 90's, Sjaak has played an active role in home studio projects as arranger and mixer for artists in The Netherlands. The last 5 years Sjaak played keyboards for several local pop/rock bands in Belgium and experimented with Live Looping tools and techniques to create Ambient textures and soundscapes.

Inspired by Ambient artists  from the international Live Looping community, Sjaak is currently preparing for a series of solo performances in both Europe and the USA. The kick-off will be the European Live Looping  Festival '09 in Antwerp and organized by himself, followed by the Y2K9 International Live Looping Festival in Santa Cruz.
