Hans Schoutens
Biography
Hans Schoutens is a mathematician and composer who grew up in Leuven, Belgium, where he obtained his doctorate in mathematics. His musical work draws particular inspiration from Bach. Without formal musical training, he developed a compositional practice centred on choral works and fugues in a neo-Baroque language. His Choral Fugue, Op. 67, takes themes from O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden.
