Dumoulin was born in Ingelmunster, in rural Belgium.[1] He became Occupation(s) Musician,
interested in jazz in his late teens, by hearing Keith Jarrett and Kenny composer
Kirkland.[1] He initially played the piano, but owned a Fender
Rhodes when he was studying jazz in Cologne when he was in his Instruments Fender Rhodes,

After his studies, Dumoulin got a regular job in Antwerp and began (http://www.jozefdu
using the Fender Rhodes in preference to the poor quality piano that moulin.com/)
the venue possessed.[1] From then, he began experimenting with the
sounds that it could make and how they could be altered using effects.[1]

In 2011 and 2013 Dumoulin recorded with the sextet Bureau of Atomic Tourism.[2]

Dumoulin recorded a wholly improvised solo Fender Rhodes album that was released in 2014.[3] Commenting
on his preference for improvisation at that stage, he commented that "Maybe one day I'll be able to write music
bringing more things together, but for now I know that the best way to get in a zone is through
improvisation."[1] His 2015 album Trust was credited to The Red Hill Orchestra, but this consisted of
Dumoulin (mainly Fender Rhodes), Ellery Eskelin (tenor sax) and Dan Weiss (drums).[1] This contained
Dumoulin's "spindly, shape-shifting post-bop compositions, where extended passages of free improvisation
and quicksilver give-and-take connect groove-heavy themes."[1]
