Radboud Mens has been a sound-artist for over 25 years and is now living & working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In 1988 he also started creating audio-installations and noise-machines, something he still does. In 1994 he started out releasing noise using the project-names "Hyware" and "Technoise", Hyware being very harsh noise and Technoise being rhythmic noise. As Hyware and Technoise he has done numerous noise-performances, standing-wave performances and concerts. Since 1997 he also started making music using his own name and has released a lot of vinyl and CD albums on many different labels like Staalplaat, Mutek and Touch. His music varies from electronic to conceptual music, sometimes almost ambient-drone-like and rhytmically often quite minimal. On labels like Audio-NL and Vynalogica he did a series of minimal-techno 12 inches. In live situations he also collaborates with video-artists like Remco Schuurbiers, Jpech, Bas van Koolwijk and Isabelle Jenniches. Together with Dan Armstrong he is the founder of the ERS label. As if it is not enough, he also was a dj for the Amsterdam free radio station Radio 100, where he did a show entitled "Earbitten", for 16 years; between 1986 and 2003.
