This piece is about the madness of life. It's a pumping machine that won't stop until the very end.....
Open Source is the name I use for music I make that is fully based on improvisation.
I am a guitar teacher in the Netherlands for 18 years now....
My influences: Steve Hackett, Andy Latimer, Robert Fripp, Steve Howe, but also Herbie Hancock.
My all time hero (musically speaking) is Todd Rundgren.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, mostly with guitar students. I like to play all kinds of songs with them but my personal choice would be progressive rock. Some of the pieces we did were Discipline and Red (King crimson), Afterglow (Genesis), Shine on you crazy diamond (Pink Floyd), Mood for a day (Steve Howe), Blood on the rooftops and Horizons (Steve Hackett), Kayleigh/Lavender (Marillion).

Hey Jos, I streamed all of your music this morning, very good instrumental stuff! Very nice guitar playing, interesting song structures, good variety of emotions, styles, etc. “Floating Points I&II” was nice, I love that you composed a piece about a river (I love rivers and streams), and I loved the keyboard work in “Spectral Mondaymornings”. I thought “Northern Lights” was a nice mellow tune, very nice guitar playing!!!! Take care and keep writing the good stuff......
Thanks Nils-Ole!
I made up a guitar solo to your track 'Halo Light'. It sounds a lot like Camel, because it just needs that melodic Andy Latimer touch.
I hope I will record it later this week.
Jos.
Hi Jos!
