Listen to 'The Circle' here

From a track of the first album Out Of The Blue

What's new?

Take a peek behind the scenes of a hard working violinist. (Best job ever!) 😎

Groovin’

This will be one of the songs on the second album.
This was also written in my study period and would be the first song ever played on an electric violin at a final exam on a Dutch conservatory.
I am quite proud to have pioneered as a pop/jazz violinist on a conservatory, many have followed this direction afterwards.
Let me know what you think, I am always curious for your opinion.

Meditation, music for the soul

"Meditation" is a very special song to me.
I wrote this for a yoga/meditation teacher to use in class.
The Jensen violin sound is so perfect for this style of music, it blends well with the pad-layers in the track.
I would have placed it on the first album, but I didn’t feel it was finished yet.
This was a typical song that would cross my grid from time to time, tweaking and adding, I am totally happy and proud to say it is finally finished and good to go on the 2nd album.

Recording “Seven” for the 2nd album!

I am so exited that the 2nd album is finally on the way.
This is a fragment of “Seven”, which I wrote during my conservatory studies.
“Seven” is quite a “Rocky” feel with Romanian Folklore influences.
The 7/16th time signature is from a typical Romanian style.
Have a listen to the track as it is so far.
I hope you like it, can’t wait to record the (final) violin on it.
Special feature: André Orsel E-Guitar; Ilse Vromans Flute. (Not yet on this recording).
