Roelof Meijer (1959) is a double bass player with the The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra and a teacher at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He recorded his first CD with pianist Armin Segger, his partner in Duo Bassanova. For his second CD he wanted more control over all aspects of the recording. He founded the Romeo Foundation and produced his second Duo Bassanova CD, which received high critical acclaim. The Romeo Foundation also provided him with an outlet of urge to develop projects that cross the boundaries of conventional disciplines. He played pop music before starting his professional music training and after finishing his conservatoire studies he had always wanted to reengage in non-classical music. He also started to compose. His first multidisciplinary project Balthazar Moirée was a musical story, which he developed together with Jochem Bosselaar. He composed the music for the fictional story about a man obsessed with sound. For the performances, he founded the Romeo-ensemble, which brings together musicians from classical, jazz and pop music. In 1998 the Romeo Foundation released the music of the production on CD. Roelof Meijer took a sabbatical to compose the music on his CD Revolve. He experimented with and studied the many aspects of sound. He worked closely together with six other musicians and sound designer Joost Roset. In the process of putting the CD together, much space was left for improvisation. Reviewers clearly had difficulty with describing what it was. During the period March 2006 until December 2007 Roelof Meijer composed Twenty Songs for his label New Compositions. Recently filmmaker Shereen Abdul Baki released an animation movie, Elegy, with music by Roelof Meijer. Roelof hopes that Elegy will be the first product of a new cooperation.
