Normally Invisible was founded in 1992 by Nico (Co), Olaf and Thiemo (TéCé), students of the Institute for Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland. They had discovered a mutual interest in electronic dance music and started producing tracks together in the studios of the institute. In 1994, Thiemo was the first Dutch conservatory student to graduate on a live dance music performance, held at the Sonic Acts Festival in Paradiso, Amsterdam.
