Michiel is known for his powerfull and groovy style of playing. He is inspired by rhythms from all over the world, which he translates into pumping beats on his didgeridoo.
With over 33 years of experience Michiel knows how to involve the crowd with his playing. He takes you on a tour arround the world.
Besides a skilled didgeridoo player of international fame, he is also a storyteller who can give an interactive performance in which he tells about his learnings and travels with the didgeridoo.
Acoustick delivers a live experience rooted in deep rhythm, ceremony, and respect for the traditions from which their inspiration draws. The trio – Michiel on yiḏaki/didgeridoo, Pascal on drums, and Jan Terlouw junior on synths and soundscapes – creates an immersive musical journey in which earth, breath, and rhythm take center stage.
Deep didgeridoo sounds ripple through the space like ancient breath, intertwined with dance beats and subtle electronics. Rhythms repeat, shift, and build into a trance that unites the audience and takes them to a place between dream and dance floor.
The sound of ACOUSTICK is earthy and cosmic at the same time — rooted in the archaic, yet alive in the present. Live, an ACOUSTICK performance transforms into a ceremony. The music unfolds slowly, layer by layer, inviting you to let go. Movement arises spontaneously, eyes close, bodies follow the rhythm. Every show is unique, created in the moment, fueled by improvisation and the energy of the audience.
