  • 95 – Live in the lounge

    This is a live recording of my instrumental 95 played in a sunlit lounge as part of my rehearsals. The song is part of my album Love and Passion which you find here.

  • A Night at Tommy’s

    I wrote this little tune the morning after I had the pleasure of attending a Tommy Emmanuel show in Groningen, NL. I really like Tommy’s compositions, which to me are far more interesting than his virtuoso playing style. https://youtu.be/YveB7kI3ELY

  • The Muse

    As befits the lyrics, writing this music really had me busy for months. This song apparently had to mature for three years. I am glad that it is finally done. It also marks the next step in my singing: Never before have I felt comfortable using my voice in this way in a rock/metal context.…

  • Lake of Tears – Melancholy

    We had sex to the music of Lake of Tears. Frequently. The Scandinavian band entered my life in the middle of the 90s and is one of the few influences from the period to stay with me. They are part of my musical DNA. If Forever Autumn was a straightforward metal album I would probably…

Made of only an avocado, a banana, some cocoa powder and a pinch of salt it is easy to make, healthy, tasty and also paleo, vegan, raw, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free… oh food can be so much these days.…

  • What is success? The definition of making it.

    Success is relative. And yet our society shares a generalized, very narrow and absolute definition of making it which usually only involves the dimensions of accumulated wealth, social class and fame. Thousands of famous and rich stars who just can not get their lives sorted out clearly show the fallacy of this thinking. Frequent divorces, unhappiness…

  • I am going to make it as a musician

    Making it as an artist is simple. Based on my experience in the games industry, as a self-publishing author and as a musician I am writing this series to help other artists achieve success. This post tells a story not unusual for many artists. 22 years ago I took my first guitar lessons. Those had not been my first music…
