about

Shook makes music for those moments when time seems to stand still.
From shimmering synth-funk to introspective ambient scores, his work explores the space between nostalgia and futurism. Each piece is a sonic story, rich with emotion, shaped by analog textures, and inspired by his classical training and deep reverence for Japanese pioneers like Ryuichi Sakamoto and the Kankyō Ongaku (環境音楽) tradition.

Based in the Netherlands, Shook has spent over a decade crafting a sound that bridges Eastern and Western influences. His music has earned praise from artists such as Soichi Terada and Hideki Matsutake (Logic System / Yellow Magic Orchestra), and led to collaborations with Legowelt, performances alongside the Ed Banger Records crew in Paris, and features by NASA and Netflix (Better Call Saul).
His track “Always” became a personal anthem for NASA astronaut Christina Koch, who played it to her husband from the International Space Station during her record-breaking mission.

Live, Shook blends synth performance with rhythmic intensity, inviting audiences into a world of reflection, wonder, and movement. From a sacred Mayan cenote to Tokyo’s underground scene, and a commissioned soundtrack for Lowell Observatory (featured in TIME Magazine’s “World’s Greatest Places”), his performances are as versatile as they are unforgettable.
