Leo Anemaet

Leo Anemaet is a Dutch composer and sound designer who has created music and sound for more than 150 productions across film, television, theatre and exhibitions. He began as a guitarist in the Dutch band scene of the late 1970s and 1980s before turning to composition and sound design.

His fascination with sound began early through experiments with effects, tape loops and early sampling. In 1987, he bought his first Atari computer to explore digital music production. One of the results was Yaaah/Techno Trance (D-Shake, 1990), which found its way onto dance floors at clubs such as The Hacienda in Manchester.

His work spans documentary and arthouse films, television series, theatre productions and museum installations. Over the years, he has collaborated with many of the Netherlands’ leading filmmakers, theatre directors, actors and exhibition designers.

Recent credits include the arthouse film Praten met de Nachtwacht by Theu Boermans and the documentary series Het Beloofde Land and Suriname by Coen Verbraak.
