Van Eijck is a Dutch composer and performer known for his ambient and minimalist piano compositions, often incorporating subtle electronic elements and extended techniques.

He frequently releases music on the acclaimed label 1605 Records and has garnered international recognition for his distinctive sound.

The Waalse Kerk (Walloon Church) in Breda dates back to the 16th century, originally constructed for French-speaking Protestants – the Walloons – who sought refuge in the city during periods of religious persecution. Completed in 1607, it stands as one of the oldest Protestant churches in the Netherlands. While historically a place of worship, the Waalse Kerk now functions primarily as a cultural venue hosting a diverse range of events including concerts, lectures and exhibitions. Its architecture is characterized by its Renaissance style and notable acoustic properties due to its high vaulted ceilings and relatively sparse interior, making it a favoured location for performances requiring natural reverberation.
