Private Kitchen
Private Kitchen is the online platform about and around Dutch media composers and their music. A ‘kitchen’ look and feel based on the Dutch expression “take a look in the kitchen”: see what people do. And it’s based on the understanding that ‘cooking’ and ‘composing’ are strongly related to each other.
Private Kitchen promotes Dutch media composers, their music and their role in the (inter)national media industry. It offers a platform for these media composers to present their work to peers, the media industry, and a general international audience. It facilitates conversations around one central question: How does music interact with other media forms? And how do these interactions affect the composer’s creative process?
The platform is produced by MiMM in close collaboration with ShortCutz Amsterdam and publishes continuously. The platform provides content based in a context in which media composers are active: film, identity, games, interactive sound art, theatre and science.
