Biography
Erasmus Bernardus van Dulmen Krumpelman was born in 1978 in the town of Winschoten (NL). Since he was eight he has played the piano and somewhere around 1993 he started writing music himself. From 1999 to 2001 he studied at the Constantijn Huygens School of Music in Zwolle, where Alex Manassen was his teacher of composition. During this period some of his works were performed in public; among them the sonata for clarinet and piano 'Events'.

After 2001 Van Dulmen Krumpelman continued to study Dutch Language at the State University of Groningen, a study which he had taken on earlier from 1996 to 1999. In 2006 he left the university and one year later he moved to Luxembourg, where he still lives.

Although he still composed in his spare time, nothing eventful happened until September 2008, when his 30 seconds piece 'The Elevatrix', which he had send in for the project Live Elevator Music of the Swedish Föreningen Levande Musik was chosen among ten other pieces to be performed in the elevator of the Gothia hotel in Göteborg.
