Budha Building stands for sphere. This is the element that is the bases for this ambient, & ethno orientated downtempo electronical music with very abstract characteristics.

The organic and acoustic music of Budha Building is created using samples, sequencers and synthesisers. Any live performance of Budha Building is unique because the whole set always is sequenced and arranged live. By performing together with guest musicians, Budha Building explores new boundaries within his own music. This approach creates a tension that every time results in a creative interaction between musicians and audience. To attract more attention to his motion picture kind of music, Hans Timmermans also visualises his music by using VJ techniques.

In 2007 Budha Building has finally released a DVD with the music and video images of the Necesidades project. On this DVD you will also find the music from the albums, Abstract and N.E.T. All these releases are available at Amazon.com. In 2008 Dvd project Ziek has be released all the music has been written by Hans Timmermans. 

At the moment Budha Building is writting a new solo album and working on a musical collaboration with Dhroeh Nankoe.

In the past years, Hans Timmermans has focused on the writing and producing of music for different productions, expositions, presentations and performances. Amongst other projects, he produced music for the dancetheatre production "Bugelfrei", all the music for the DVD production Ziek (sick), theatre production "Nest" (Peggy Olislaegers). composed the music and soundscapes for the cartoon / puppetseries "Eefje Wentelteefje" (VPRO, Villa Achterwerk). Hans Timmermans is also a member of the project Quadrant Extendend from Eric vd Westen and E-Quad.
