As a musician I play with the sounds of the voice, the piano and other acoustic instruments.

During my youth I wrote lyrics and music, genre singer-songwriter, and from the turn of the century I use sounds instead of words, like speaking in tongues or glossolalia.

I create a safe moment of listening and a safe space, so I raise a meditative, calm and peaceful mood. Your thoughts, emotions and memories pass by. My music addresses all your senses, so quietly you get back to yourself. Afterwards you feel reborn and you go on with new insights.

From early on I learned to play the piano en the guitar at home. At the age of 14, I took my father's guitar to my room to play intensively and to compose.

I felt attracted to the lower sounds, so I lent a bass guitar from a neighbor to explore that instrument. In 2007 I bought myself a double bass, the king of the bowed instruments.

The soprano recorder, which I learned to play in school at the age of 9, sounded too high and too sharp for me. At the age of 15 I discovered the tenor recorder, which is bigger and sounds low and gentle.

I felt my self-made hand drum too shallow, so I made a big host drum, which sounds much lower. You feel those low vibrations trembling into your belly. That's a natural way to stay grounded in the here and now.

My first harmonica was a gift for my 18th birthday, together with a holder to play the guitar or the piano at the same time.

Later on I added some ethnic instruments like mouth harps, a blowing horn and a conch or blowing shell, some self-made ones like the didgeridoo, the native American flute, the chain of walnut-shells and I make rhythms on wood with sticks.

For the Piano-performances I combine the piano with vocals. My compositions are musical sound-stories. The repetitive and minimalist style is meditative to dream away as a listener.

With the acoustic and ethnic instruments I give Relax Concerts. You surrender totally to the music; read: the variety of sounds and vibrations from the diverse instruments.

.

Our body contains more than half water. Sound travels faster through water than through the air, so we feel more vibrations than we hear them. You relax very well, while your thoughts, emotions and memories are passing by. The subtle vibrations give you an inner massage, you float in a bath of sounds. After the performance you return out of the deep relaxation and you feel reborn with new insights.
