Wuft doch resoluut

A poetic title for a (I hope) poetic electro-acoustic musical essay.....me playing an acoustic prepared piano and some small percussion and Onno plays the spaceguitar

A willow always fears the axe

We Meet,  We Met, We Mated, We Parted, We Grieved, We Met Again,We Vanished

The loose parts are all improvised and assembled afterwards so that makes it also a composition. The oldest recording is the drum intro "Jack De John Net Niet" from 1978. At that time I was an ambitious and cocky 17 year old drummer. Now I am still an equally ambitious and cocky 53 year old drummer. So, me on drums, piano and synthesizer, Onno Scheffer guitar and bass and Bennie Tibbe drums on the second part where I play the piano. I hope you will enjoy it

Artamus (a work in progress)

The basic drumtrack  from a piece called "The zwevende keizer" which was never released. I first played the sizzling cymbal parts, after that the rest  was added. 

Repercussion - balletmusic for naked dancers

Recorded on a monday morning, expecting to have a huge hangover due to certain weekend activities but we felt quite fresh and I think our playing represents that same kind of freshness.

Bij Afwezigheid Van De Man Met De Hamer

One of the first recordings in the new studio in Winsum upstairs in my house. Percussion overdubs recorded at Onno's place in Emmen.

New attic.....up in the north

Finally this title found the proper musical content it deserves.  Two previous pieces were carrying this title before. The first one we retitled Vulva Morgana. The second one  will not be released due to unsatisfyable and unsolvable post production problems. Now finally we can really say our second album is finished. Enjoy!!

Spastische Neigungen im Plastikverpackungen

I play piano, synthesizer and drums. I make my music, mostly alone, sometimes in collaboration with others but I always 
use the name Peff for my musical activities. I just issued my first cd (actually today as I write these words, March the 17th 2013),
a duo album with guitarist Onno Scheffer. It's called "Pleasing the neighbourhood with electrifying Dadaism". If you listen to the
tracks already released here on Soundcloud you will probably get some idea about my/our idiom although stylistic diversity is one 
of my main goals which means music with influences from (Free) Jazz, Avant-prog, Krautrock, Dark Ambient and Western Classical music.
If there are any musicians from Holland who delve in the same territory as I am and who would like to coorporate with me, please send 
me an E-mail:  bertdbbn@gmail.com
