I have put very much work in this arrangement. A lot of my musical energy went to one of my favourite Avishai Cohen Pieces the last couple of months. But I think it works well on the guitar, doesn't it?

Thank you Lukas for a great recording session in your bathroom!

Avishai Cohen -  Structure In emotion

Moondogs music has been with me for more then a decade now. His album 'Sax Pax for a Sax' always comforted me. This wonderful Birds Lament is on it. What do you think of this arrangement? Works on guitar as well, no?  

Painting By Bartholomeus (Bart Van Broeckhoven). The painting was a gift from my lovely wife a couple of years ago.

Birds Lament - Moondog, arr. Jan Sanen

A new composition for a great friend. Her name is Sarissa, sa-re-sa means in the indian raga system do-re-do or C-D-C. When I started writing this piece she had some bad luck but she is a very positive person. I tried to catch the area between the bad thing happening to her and her good personality.

Tallinn, Estonia - Suur Saal, Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre - 23/11/2020

With this piece, I had the honor to receive the first prize in the “Duo Kottos Composition Competition 2020” in London.

Many thanks to Iva Bobanović (guitar) and Juho Ahmas (cello) for this wonderful performance. Due to Corona it wasn’t possible to be present, but recordings of their rehearsals already proved the mastery of these young musicians. 

5 Visual Fragments for Guitar and Cello converts the ideas of Elsworth Kelly (1923-2015) and Alexander Scriabin (1971-1915) into five musical interpretations. The main idea is a journey from blue to red as two total opposites. In each part I linked one of the following five colours to a specific emotion or atmosphere:

00:00     1. Blue: calmness, space, air - misterioso
02:20     2. Green: time, nature, peace - con dolcessa
05:10      3. Yellow: energy, joy, vigour - energico 
07:10      4. Orange: force, power, vehemence - maestoso
10:10       5. Red: madness, rush, tension - con fuoco

Many thanks to Karl Eerik Laas for the recording.
