Sometimes I make a sidestep of my ceremonial sounds.
Beneath the sound of distant thunder lies the echo of loss, not only the passing of our parents, but the silent knowing that one day our own children will face the same storm.
This piece moves between grief and grace, between the lightning of memory and the calm that follows the rain.
It is a meditation on love that never leaves, on the circle that keeps turning, and on the thunder that reminds us we were once small, and still are, inside.

Childhood thunder

Leeuwenstein is the musical identity of Alex van Leeuwen, producer, songwriter, where he transforms inner journeys into immersive, ritualistic, and psychedelic soundscapes, a Dutch artist and ceremony guide who healed from PTSD through plant medicine. His music is crafted as a sacred space: a blend of shamanic tradition and electronic innovation, with tribal percussion, ambient textures, and angelic female vocals.

Leeuwenstein’s live performances and sound journeys are deeply immersive, supporting inner healing, movement, and expanded states of consciousness. Perfect for psychedelic ceremonies, truffle experiences, and conscious festivals, his albums, such as Frozen in Time, Rhythms of the Cosmos, and The Green Path, are widely used as tools for transformation.

Leeuwenstein invites his audience not just to listen, but to feel, remember, and return home to themselves.

Though rooted in healing music, Leeuwenstein occasionally ventures into political territory, crafting powerful protest songs that reflect on war, freedom, and the future of humanity.
