Play A Note: A powerful collaboration between music and technology
Pascal Schardijn – Creative Technologist & Founder Play A Note
With a background spanning 40 years, Pascal Schardijn is a pioneer at the intersection of creativity and code. Active in music and computing since the age of 10, and a professional musician since the age of 17, he has cultivated a rare dual expertise.
Video Editor 4.0: Autonomous & Open-Source Technology has evolved rapidly since the founding of Playanote.nl in 2014. In 2025, Pascal introduced a revolutionary workflow by engineering his own dedicated AI hardware and developing custom software tools.
Unlike creators who rely on closed, commercial subscription services like Sora or Veo, Pascal operates on a fully independent infrastructure. His 'Video Editor 4.0' ecosystem runs exclusively on advanced open-source models hosted on local hardware. This ensures complete control over the creative output, free from the limitations of external "black box" providers.
This defines him as a Creative Technologist in the purest sense of the word. He doesn't just write the script and compose the music; he builds, trains, and fine-tunes the AI systems that bring the vision to life.
Core Competencies:
Engineering: AI Systems Engineering, LLM Fine-tuning, Custom Software Development (Open Source based).
Production: Concept, Script, Greenscreen, Recording.
Post-Production: VFX, Audio Optimization, AI Video/Audio Prompting.
Driven by this unique blend of craftsmanship and independent innovation, Playanote.nl offers services for those seeking visual content with impact.
