Brainvoyager is the artist name of Jos Verboven (born 17 July 1962) a Dutch electronic music composer and musician.

Brainvoyager as a musician
1978 - 2012
In 1978 Brainvoyager bought his first electronic music album Timewind of Klaus Schulze. It was the start of a long period of being a listener to electronic music and a visitor of many concerts of electronic musicians like Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Bernd Kistenmacher, Ron Boots, Steve Roach and Vidna Obmana.[3]
2012 - present
In 2012 Brainvoyager became a musician himself. As an experienced listener for three and a half decades he learned the ropes. The name "Brainvoyager" represents the intention of his music: to enable the listener to make a 'voyage' within his or her own brain. The music of Brainvoyager is best described as a mixture of contemporary rhythms and hypnotic electronic ambiences, inspired by the model of retro Berlin School of electronic music.[4]
