Maniacs of Noise

Alongside Charles Deenen, who Tel met at computer meetings in Venlo, Netherlands, Tel is a founding member of the computer music group Maniacs of Noise, a company devoted to composing music and designing sound effects for videogames since 1987. He worked for several years at Funcom in Norway. In addition to being a game musician, he has composed lots of modules in the context of demo scene.

Tel Me More

In the summer of 2015, Tel launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo
in order to produce a remix album of his best C64 music. Of the $38,911 goal, $27,420 was reached by a total of 699 backers. On August 8, 2015, Tel gave an update on his Indiegogo page stating that this was sufficient to create the album and deliver all the promised perks. In posts on the campaign page, he claimed to still be working on completing the project as of February 2020. However, in the beginning of February 2022, the project was marked as closed without any comment from Tel. In a June 2023 comment on SoundCloud, Tel stated his intention of getting the project "out of the way".
