Chair

I’m Milo, chair 🪑 of this year’s committee. This means I everyone in the committee must do whatever I tell them to 😈, but also that you can blame me if this year’s BMN is shit. If, under some hypothetical situation, a global pandemic breaks out and we aren’t allowed to rehearse or perform, that’s not my fault though.
 
In all seriousness, I’m the person leading and responsible for the committee, and if you have any questions or feedback regarding the BMN, you can contact me through: milogermanus@a-eskwadraat.nl
 
I myself play bass guitar 🎸 (makes that sound that makes your head bop), with about 9 years of experience under my belt. I play pretty much all types of rock (classic, punk, metal, alt, post, etc.), with my favorite being alternative rock-ish music, but I listen to many more genres.

Secretary

Hi there, I’m Femke! This year I’ll be vice chair, which means I will help Milo manage everything and make sure he takes a break every once in a while. Luckily, most of my meetings with Milo are at the bouldering gym, which means he doesn’t need much convincing to stop working.
 
I also have the role as agent, so I’ll be responsible for the communication between the committee and the musicians and audience. At the BMN, I’ll be playing keys. I started playing classical piano when I was six and decided to participate in the BMN two years ago. This gave me the opportunity to explore different kinds of music and to discover the joy of playing with others.
 
Currently, I am in my second year of the master Theoretical Physics. During my free time I like making music (obviously), climbing, running, baking and crocheting. My hobbies change almost every week though, so by the time  you read this I might enjoy something else (except music, that one’s constant).
 
See you at the BMN!

Operations

Hey! I am Joris, 24 years old and I will be your operations manager this year B)! My job is for a large part to make the schedules for the rehearsals, and other events that need time managing. That is because I manage time quite good, I control time like a wizard. They call me the dr. Strange of the BMN, but not with such a handsome beard unfortunately.
I have about 3.5 of self taught bass experience, mostly learning from playing RHCP basslines, YT instruction videos and jamming with friends! So happy to be playing music with friends the coming year on monday night :D. For sure the best way to learn it! My music taste can be quite diverse, but most of the time I hyperfixate on 1 or 2 albums each 2 weeks and then move on to the next 1 or 2 albums, from hiphop to metal, from soul to punk.
This year will also be the last year that I study (probably). I am in my third year of the master programmes Mathematics and Theoretical physics, currently writing my thesis. In my free time I enjoy sewing, cooking and hiking.
Looking forward to playing music with you all!!!

Engagement

Hi hi, my name is Luka, I am 18 years old and I will be your event manager this year! I have been playing the piano for quite a long time and this year I will be one of three (yes three!) pianists in the committee. After last year’s amazing BMN I am very excited for my second year being in the committee and I will also be starting my second year of a physics and mathematics bachelor.
 
In my spare time I like to listen to music, mainly rock and metal and such and obviously I also enjoy making music, which I will be doing this year alongside a ton of amazing musicians (which you could be a part of :D).
 
Anyway, enough about me. Being this year’s event manager, I will make sure we’ll have fun activities to do besides playing our instruments, also the medley will be composed by me, which I’m very excited for.
I hope to see you all at this year’s BMN!

Treasurer & Production

“Yes, it is I, says me. And all who agree are more than three cuz they’re we!”
I’m Murren, also known as ‘forg’. For the third year in a row, I am in the organization of the BMN to get this on the road—This time as Treasurer and Production manager.
 
I’ve been playing the drums since the ripe young age of seven, and I am unfortunately in my fourth year of the CS bachelor alongside the BMN.
 
Music is by far the most important thing in my life. I listen to almost every genre, from metal to darkwave to neurofunk and the cultured amongst us will have recognized my opening quote from Dr. Dre’s “Stranded on Death Row”. I can ramble on about music forever, but let’s switch it up. Besides music I write and read (but no one believes that), I do software development and event support to pay the bills, I am full-time discordian, and I make sure to never go to sleep before 4am. I also write stories and code a lot in my free time, maintaining the BMN website, game mods, websites and occasionally an uni assignment. Cheers, and see you June 9th at the BMN!

Composer

Hey! My name is Niels. I am one of the three keys players in the BMN committee, with several years of keyboard experience.
 
My main role is being this year’s Composer. That means you can approach me if you’d like some help or advice on what to play in your song; I’ll do my part to figure out your part! My other main mission is making a medley that we will perform during the big show.
 
As secondary PR-manager, I will be promoting the BMN together with Marije through posters, stickers, social media posts and more! Last but not least, I am this year’s secondary Confidant. If at any point you need a listening ear, hit me up and we’ll have a chat 🙂
 
On the side I am an Experimental Physics student, lizard enthusiast, puzzle creator and unparalleled master of wordplay. You can find me under a heat lamp.
 
See you at the one and only BMN!

PR-Manager

Hi!!! I’m Marije, I’m in my second year of computer science and I’m the primary PR manager in the 2027 BMN committee! Together with Niels, I will be responsible for the logo, posters, shirts and whatever other merch we choose to make.
 
I’m a vocalist, but I can also play some keys. (Un)fortunately those skills won’t be tested, because we already got 3 (three!) pianists in this year’s committee.
 So, I love singing, and I have for about 13 years, but I also really love music in general: listening to it, singing along, writing my own. I really suck at genres, but if I’d have to classify my taste in music, I’d say it’s everything from pop to pop-rock (what a range!).
 
As demonstrated in my picture, I really, really, really love the color pink. Besides music, I also like being creative in other ways, like drawing, jewellery making, crocheting, baking, and recently I’ve also picked up 3d modelling.
 
I just know that this year’s BMN is going to be amazing, so you should definitely come! See you there!

Setlist

Hi my name is Sven. This is my first year in the BMN and I’ll be the setlist and hospitality manager this year.
I am 18 years old and have just started my first year of computer science here. In my free time I really like playing guitar and have been playing for almost three years. And I play in a band with some friends. I also like playing video games and drawing.
I also really enjoy listening to music with mostly alternative forms of rock and metal with some of my favorite bands being: My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil, Silverstein and The Offspring.
