About Jor

Sound Designer (Loopmasters, Camel Audio, ADSR sounds, SoundFreqs), Music Production Instructor (Pyramind), Grade C certified music teacher.

My name is Jor van der Poel, I was born in the Netherlands and lived in Vancouver, BC for years. Currently I am living in Berlin, which proves to be a great playground for the experimental minded (i.e. Mad Scientists).

I am a music producer, composer, teacher and sound designer. I am certified in both music theory and sound design education. When I was younger I wanted to be a famous drummer, which resulted in me practicing for a ridiculous amount of hours per day, which eventually got me into music education and my first job as a music teacher. This introduced me to a whole new world of music, and I realised that if I knew how to record and arrange I could be my own band. So I started practicing piano and guitar, both classical and jazz and learned how to record this to use in my music.

Besides acoustic music, I also love the extreme flexibility of synthetic sounds which made me want to learn about sound design, mixing and mastering. I spend a few years practicing this 8 hours a day, I got pretty good at it and 7 years ago I started making weekly sound design videos for the online community ADSR. This introduced me to a lot of people in the music industry, and taught me more about educating others. It also got me on the Sound-Design team of various Software Developers and a position as a featured mentor for Pyramind, CA.

In my "free" time I like to code applications and I love to mess around with algorithmic compositions in both Supercollider and Opusmodus. I then use these compositions to create visuals and music at the same time, you can find examples of this on my Github page.

I am a co-founder of Sound-Freqs, a sound-design label that focuses on community and the owner of Subject Sound, an online school for Sound Design, Production & Music Theory.
I also create music under the alias Jorgalad

About the lesson

It's not always easy to know what you want to learn, and it can be even more difficult to visualise the steps to get you there. As a mentor it's my job to lead you towards your goals, and set out a roadmap to get you there. Therefor, the first lesson always starts with a lot of questions for the student.
This gives me an idea in what you want to learn and which tools and techniques you would need to achieve those goals. These could be questions like:
- What do you want to be able to do?
- Which topics interest you the most?
- Who are your inspirations?

Based on this I make a lesson plan for the student and I help them set achievable goals and practice routines that keep you inspired.
