Dick Raaijmakers, also known as Dick Raaymakers or Kid Baltan, was born on September 1, 1930, in Maastricht, Netherlands, was a Dutch composer known for his pioneering work in electronic music. He studied piano at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and began his career working in electro-acoustic research at Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. from 1954 to 1960.

From 1963 to 1966, he collaborated with Jan Boerman in a self-established studio for electronic music in The Hague.
