Music Designer & Klein Kunstenaar

Hi! Welcome to my website.

I’m Jetze Terpstra, a TU/e Industrial Design BSc graduate and a student of Master of Music – Music Design at the HKU. I’m a social designer, using music as a tool to unlock creativity and create accessible, collaborative experiences. My expertise lies in Discovery Based Learning, tackling Wicked Problems and Non-Linear design processes. My experiences at Environments.earth, E.S.T.V. Doppio and the TU/e Demodays have helped me shape my professional soft and hard skills into the perfect toolkit.

Please feel free to reach out!

My primary projects are:

de Klankmakers Kist

A toolkit that allows makers of all ages to engage music craft-first, making their very own musical instrument from thrift store materials.

Wanderust

In nature, there’s a certain quiet that really invites us to listen. Joining hikes and concerts together, Wanderust allows me to engage with intimate themes like personal growth and new beginnings through my music and the conversations along the way.

EZTEJ

A long time music project, in which I let others wander through the experiences of my past. Simple language, small songs and intimate performances.

Performance

More than a passing interest, theater and performance have played a large part in my creative practices. Improvisation theater through een Korreltje Stout, a board-year as commissioner of External Affairs at E.S.T.V. Doppio and numerous Table-Top Role Play allow me to approach my profesional work while staying nimble on my feet (both literally and metaphorically).
