Leo Anemaet

Leo Anemaet began as a lead guitarist in the Dutch band scene of the late ’70s and ’80s, starting with the experimental group Frozen Frog and later playing in bands like Dojoji and Funky Stuff. In 1987, after buying an Atari computer, he not only became a sound engineer but also produced one of the world’s first house music hits, Yaaah/Techno Trance (D‑Shake, 1990) — a track that played at iconic clubs such as The Hacienda in Manchester, UK.

Since then, Leo has created sound and music for over a hundred titles, from early theatre work snd film projects in Rotterdam, like Merlijn and Plan Delta, to the critically acclaimed comedy series 30 Minuten and Hertenkamp, the cult children’s show Rembo&Rembo, the animation series De verhalen van de Boze Heks, and more recent arthouse films such as Ascent and Praten met de Nachtwacht.

Throughout his career, Leo has collaborated closely with directors, actors, and visual artists to craft immersive soundscapes for film, television, animation, theatre, and museum installations, including Wonderkamers at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and Voyage at Sea at the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam.

Known for his unconventional, genre-crossing approach, Anemaet’s work continues to blur the lines between music, sound, and visual storytelling.
