NEWS: 2022-2024

This is the first integral concert of my ‘BOOK of SAMPLES’ series: two instrumental works & two music video’s on October 25 at Splendor, Amsterdam. With BOOK of SAMPLES (2021-2023), I've been working in the integration of music with 'experimental imagery' for video - two instrumental works each linked to one of two music video's. The instrumental pieces are performed by wonderful and creative musicians - Reinier van Houdt, piano, Doris Hochscheid, cello, Michel Marang, clarinets, en Erica Roozendaal, accordion.

'au depart de B'

https://www.nporadio4.nl/podcasts/bach-en-nu
Thanks to Aad van Nieuwkerk, radio presentor and editor of
https://www.nporadio4.nl/programmas/vrije-geluiden for his lovely
podcast about my work ’au depart de B’ played by Eddy Janning
composed for Jaqueline Smit’s 24Preludia project.

‘Bach. And now?
What the Bible is to believers, Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier is to musicians. ‘Bach. En nu? is a podcast series about contemporary piano music, made by Aad van Nieuwkerk, in which the composers themselves talk about their prelude. Twice 24 preludes, written by as many contemporary Dutch composers - in every key, just like in Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
