Private Kitchen is an online platform, providing information about Dutch media composers and their music. Private Kitchen is based on the Dutch expression “take a look in the kitchen”: see what people are doing, where ‘cooking’ and ‘composing’ are strongly related to each other.

Our platform promotes Dutch media composers, their music and their role in the (inter)national media industry. Private Kitchen offers an online environment for Dutch media composers to present their work to peers, the media industry, and a general international audience. It facilitates conversations around central questions: How does music interact with other media forms? And how do these interactions affect the composer’s creative process?

This season we interview Dutch composers by visiting them in their studio’s, question media composers with an international career and listen to composers giving a hint of their working methods in the new feature “Anatomy of a cue”. Apart from this Private Kitchen will present you with columns, editorials, reviews and news about and around the industries where media composers are active.

Our platform offers content in the context in which media composers are active: film, identity, games, interactive sound art, theatre and science.

Private Kitchen is produced by MiMM in close collaboration with ShortCutz Amsterdam and is publishing continuously.
