I have dedicated this piece to my brother and sister in law, they both had and still have very difficult times healthwise...

the art picture was taken by my niece's husband Cees, an excellent photographer in his spare time, he took this picture in the Roman Catholic church H.H. Cyriacus-Franciscus in Hoorn in the North of Holland...
My niece and her husband have been looking after them in their difficult times, and this was part of an outing....

I hope you will enjoy listening...

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”

For guitar, accordion, trumpet, violin, double bass, sound effects and percussion.

A photo my mom took of me when I was 17. I was sitting on her bed to tell her something and was going through my phone.

All On Earth My Aching Sight Of Loveliness Could See - #3749 (787 Left) By Chair House 240320

An amazing album that I had the honor of cowriting with my brother Darren Campbell Jenkins and Sandro Friedrich!

These relaxing, organic tracks are musical portraits dedicated to the rivers of the world. Take a romantic gondola ride in Venice accompanied by acoustic guitars and mandolin or unravel the mystique of Scotland following the enchanting call of the bagpipe. Tracks feature intimate, small ensemble arrangements featuring acoustic guitar, bagpipe, bamboo flute, Doumbek, Ney and mandolin among others.

Ugasanie's cold drones meets Dronny Darko's meticulous sound design on this dark and brooding arctic album. 

Two weeks you've been scouring the arctic sea. No sun since you reached the north, the dark water a constant fractured mirror that meets the universe above and pulls you into its black fold. Everything points to "it" resting beneath the ice, in a slumber of centuries. 

Three weeks, now on land, you're getting close. Down here beneath the ice you feel disconnected from the world, like you are leaving the present as you spelunk into the past. You snap another glow stick and throw it down the ice shaft, the light strobes off crystalline walls as it reveals an ancient structure below. The Arctic Gates. 

For lovers of cold atmospheres and a feeling of isolation.
