Jeroen Hofs, a.k.a. Eboman, is an audiovisual artist whose work seamlessly integrates music and visuals. Audience participation often plays a significant role in his creations.
He performs as a DVJ or using his SenSorSuit and/or with Augmented Stage. Since 1995, Hofs, together with the team at EboStudio, has been developing custom software to work with music and visuals simultaneously—an area where no existing solutions were available. His technical innovations aim to create the ultimate audiovisual instrument, enabling artists to work with visuals and music in a unified creative process. This pursuit led to the development of EboSuite, a software suite that transforms Ableton Live into a powerful audiovisual instrument.

Jeroen Hofs a.k.a. Eboman graduated with honores at the Academy for Image and Media Technology in 1995. Since then he built up an international reputation as a pioneer in the areas of video sampling and visual music.

His work has brought him a wide range of awards, including the BV Pop Prijs, the NPS Cultuurprijs, the Edison/Silver Harp, various Dance Awards, two TMF Award nominations and a Webby Award. Since 1995, he has produced dozens of projects, including 500+ live performances as an artist and for clients such as Telefonica, Nike, Apple, ASML and Sony Playstation. In 2001 Hofs set up EboStudio, a technical development team with whom he developed (among others) Augemented Stage (an interactive show control system), Senna (a video sampler for children) and the Interactive Tracks technology (a platform for interactive audiovisual apps for mobile devices).

Since 1995, Hofs, together with the team at EboStudio, has been developing custom software to work with music and visuals simultaneously—an area where no existing solutions were available. His technical innovations aim to create the ultimate audiovisual instrument, enabling artists to work with visuals and music in a unified creative process. This pursuit led to the development of EboSuite, a software suite that transforms Ableton Live into a powerful audiovisual instrument. EboSuite provides an unrivalled way of integrating music and visuals into live shows and music productions. It enables musicians/artists to produce their own video clips, audiovisual performances and innovate in the field of visual music. In 2018 EboSuite was awarded with the Music Meets Tech Audience Award.

EboSuite has a long history and is the result of many prototypes, like the 1995 video sampler, EboNaTor (1997), SenSorSuit (1999), DVJ Mixer (2001), Frame Drummer Pro (2003), skrtZz pen (2003), SenS I (2004), SenS II (2005), SenS III (2006), SenS IV (2007), Senna (2010), SenSei (2011), DVJ Mixer 3.0 (2013) and iTracks (2014), see www.eboman.com, www.ebosuite.com, www.ebostudio.com
