Rasmus Kjærbo, Founder of Rumkraft and Componental
Rasmus Kjærbo is a music technologist, CEO and co-founder of audio tech company Componental and the electronic music school and artist community Rumkraft.
At Rumkraft, Denmark’s cosiest academy for music technology and the country’s only Ableton Certified Training Centre, they have been fostering a community for music enthusiasts, providing a range of offerings, including workshops, classes, and courses and hosting events that bring together local and global music talent. Rumkraft’s mission is to democratize access to music technology and inspire creativity.
In 2022, Rasmus took on a new adventure, co-founding Componental with Leo Fogadic. The vision at Componental is to revolutionize the audio industry through our sustainable and modular audio platform, Dubby.
Rasmus’ academic journey, culminating in a Master’s Degree in Sound and Music Computing from Aalborg University in Copenhagen, has been driven by my fascination with the brain and the intricate relationships between neurology, cognition, and human social functioning. This fascination also fuels my professional endeavors, where I constantly explore the intersection of music, technology, and cognition.
