about

Note 1 - ( Super ) headphones recommended.

Note 2 - As you can hear my most favorite sound in the world is that of a softly rumbling/howling wind.

Note 3 - All is medium volume, there are no loud sounds here.

Note 4 - Welcome to my world on the edge of dream and reality.


In 1955 I was born as the youngest son of a farmer in the North of The Netherlands, Western Europe. In the year 1959 we moved to a huge farm ( at least for me as a kid it was ) about a mile from the nearest village. For me the next years to come were like heaven - they pretty much shaped my current artistry.

The thing I remember most about that time ( and the years thereafter ) was sitting silently somewhere in this huge barn directly connected to the house we lived in. As the first years passed by so did the seasons - and the lights... they dimmed... November came... December came... And there I was : listening now in almost complete darkness to the omnipotent sound of the wind, the rain on the roof - and in the far away distance ( don't forget - I was only a kid at the time ) my mother's voice, almost certainly praising The Lord. What I remember most about her voice was when she finished a song - in one long last vibrating breath...

Today ( 50 years later - ) you will find elements as mentioned above in all my art : distant, almost alienated voices - the omnipotent sound of the softly howling wind ; waves of Nostalgia, and waves of Melancholy.
