Jazzin' it up Jazzin' it up
It starts really slowly, and then the cooljazz turns into hotjazz. I love it when songs do that!
In de avond, met wijn In de avond, met wijn
A jazzy piece without any really good melody, nor a recognizable swing, yet I do like it myself ;)
Who's the bossa? Who's the bossa?
A bossa nova-style guitar piece with some unusual chords for a bossa. It is badly mixed though: my recorder must have had a bad day ;)
Jazz voor in de kroeg Jazz voor in de kroeg
Just some easy-going guitar jazz. I can't stop tapping my fingers when I'm listening to it though.

A song written and recorded before breakfast. Somehow I'm always full of music in the morning. Provided that I don't have a hangover off course ;D

I'm a guitarist playing all sorts of styles, mainly gipsy-jazz. Currently I play by myself, but I'll probably form up a band sometime in the near future.
I used to compose a lot of classically-orientated pieces for piano and solo guitar as well, but lately I've focused more on the jazzy side of life (which is, after all, a lot more fun ;D)Band/artist history
I started out exploring the world of music when my parents urged me to take music lessons (thanks for that, by the way) and later spanish guitar lessons. After that I bought an electrical guitar, exploring a wide range of styles, mainly metal and rock. Meanwhile, I taught myself to play the piano. My first CD consisted of solo pieces for guitar and piano. Later on, I discovered the music of Django Reinhardt, a Gipsy guitarist from the thirties. This resulted in the kind of music I presenly make. I think I can make a contribution to the genre, because there's a lot of excellent guitar players out there, all showing off on originals written by Django, but there aren't that many guitar players actually writing new material. I really think that's a pitty, and therefore I don't really play covers.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not so much as of late.
Your musical influences
Django Reinhardt, Ludwig van Beethoven, Anton Bruckner, Frederyk Chopin, Bireli Lagrene, Guns 'n Roses.
I'd like to think of my music as having influences of punk, rock and metal as well but that's probably a long shot.What equipment do you use?
This marvel of technology, the guitar
No, seriously. It's a great instrument.
For recording I use a Zoom Multitrack Recording Studio MRS-1266, except on older records (the paino music mainly), which was recorded on a really poor quality four-track (which my dear friend Veldgeest I using presently by the way ;D) with crappy microphones, that lead to the annoying and ever-present high-pitched noise.Anything else?
