ABOUT ME
MUSICIAN, ARCHITECT OF SOUND AND MENTOR
With over 25 years of experience at the keys, in the studio and on stage, I see music as an interplay of technique and intuition. My foundation lies in the classical tradition and jazz, but my passion lies in the limitless: creating a sound of your own, whether solo on a grand piano or in a complex production.
1. THE PIANIST & MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
My journey began at the Utrecht Conservatory and the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, where I was shaped by greats such as Bert van den Brink, Jasper van 't Hof, and John Taylor. Whether performing at Paradiso or making an intimate classical recording: the focus is always on the breathing of the music. In addition to the piano, I master the language of drums, bass, and guitar, which puts me in a unique position as a coach and producer.
2. THE COMPOSER & PRODUCER
As a composer, I translate concepts into sound. My work has been awarded multiple times and is appreciated by icons like Steve Reich and Paul Simon. From cinematic soundtracks to production for artists across various styles: I always look for the 'architecture' behind the track. I help artists not just to record, but to elevate their arrangements to an international level.
3. THE RECORDING ENGINEER
A good recording is a snapshot of the soul. I specialize in high-fidelity stereo recordings for classical and jazz on location. With a musician's ears and an engineer's precision, I create a natural, transparent soundscape where every detail gets the space it deserves.
