Hoketus was an amplified musical ensemble founded by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen in the Netherlands in 1976. The group was originally formed to perform Louis Andriessen's minimal composition Hoketus, but remained together and began to perform music composed for the group by other composers (many of whom came from within the group's ranks). The group disbanded in 1987. Besides Andriessen, other composers who wrote for Hoketus include Michael Nyman, Huib Emmer, Diderik Wagenaar, Klas Torstensson, and Gene Carl.
