Jacob Lekkerkerker is a pioneer of the new organ sound: he transforms music from great church spaces into sounds of cyberspace. In addition holds a very traditional position: as music director and titular organist at the titular organist at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, he succeeds Jan P. Sweelinck. Lekkerkerker studied organ and improvisation in The Hague, Lyon and Paris as well as art history and philosophy in Amsterdam, composition at Goldsmiths University of London. He has won prizes in several competitions and performs internationally, especially in exciting collaborations with artists of various genres. As a composer he has specialised in sound art with organ samples.
