With this soundtrack I wanted to create a certain atmosphere. Something calm and beautiful, to offer some brief respite and escape.
For me, ambient is speaking with an emotive sensitivity, there is a certain self-awareness that permeates. It is about listening to the call within to be free and pure.
Like nature and art does, it gives life to our inner thoughts and visions as long as the mind is set with a great openness, a strong perseverance and a natural curiosity to experiment.

With the recording I'd like to reflect a hot summer day in Bohan, along the banks of the Semois, where as a child, the abundance and the boundless mystery of the nature around me shaped my sense of experiencing sounds and listening to music as I do today, without being aware in the moment itself.
We don’t just receive our surroundings passively. We are actively creating them.
So disconnect, zone out and enjoy my little intens journey..

The mix was recorded in one-take without editing on a sunday evening in Ghent.

Beauty comes from strange places

With the soundtrack I had the purpose to shed a light on the interpretative view of music.
As a translation of human emotions, conditions, situations or fantasies, music has the power to create an interaction with the now moment, a sense of timelessness.
The outcome of the soundtrack became a woven journey through beauty and tristesse.
A mind affair which words cannot render.

Dream On #2 - St. Colin

This selection contains some tracks that touches the deeper ground of my consciousness, which reminds me of the existence of this place, to appreciate life, to accept you’re in this right now. To see the light.
I’ve made a composition of melancholic/ambient tracks which descend to slow dark and instrumental beats towards the end.
I’ve tried to reflect life, the treasure behind it, when you listen carefully.
This is the result. 
Enjoy.

Collector, admirer, storyteller.
Floating between ambient, melancholic, experimental world, deep..

There's a very sensitive part in me who sometimes just feels way too much but doesn't even know it at the time. I need so much distance to actually understand what's going on inside of me, but when I'm listening or playing music it kind of catalyzed this whole thing.
