Jean-François Brohée holds a master's degree in pre-Columbian Art History & Archaeology and is licentiate in Art History & Archaeology (Contemporary Art) from the ULB. A classically trained violinist, he earned his degree in electroacoustic music composition from the Royal Conservatory of Mons under the supervision of Annette Vande Gorne in 2003. He is a freelance musician and sound technician active in experimental, acousmatic, electroacoustic, minimal, and improvised music since the early 2000s. In 2018, he undertook a PhD research project focused on the interdisciplinary study of Mesoamerican and Central American ancient sonorous practices under the supervision of professors Sylvie Peperstraete (CIERL, GEMESO) and Stéphanie Weisser (LAM) with a Mini-ARC "seed money" funding of the ULB. He holds a FRESH grant from the F.R.S.-FNRS since October 2019. His current research centers mainly on experimental archaeo-organology and musical acoustics.
