The Swan opened his eyes willing to find that something he didn't have. He started to admire the colors of the flowers, the mighty of the sea, the brightness of the sun, the majesty of the mountains.. He also admired the metamorphosis of a butterfly, the discipline of the working bee and the running of the stallion He discovered the Wonders of Life but he still felt none of them filled that space inside him....

Someone said, drink the water, but I will drink the wine.
Someone said, take a poor man, rich don't have a dime.
So fool yourselves if you will, I just haven't got the time.
If you can drink the water, I will drink the wine.
Someone gave me some small flowers, I held them in my hand.
I looked at them for several hours, I didn't understand.
So fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hand,
I'll give back your flowers, and I will take the land.
And I will drink the wine.
Sometimes I'm very very lonely, there's only me to care.
And when I'm very very lonely, I want someone to share,
I'm going to drink the wine, I'm gonna take my time,
And believe in a world that is mine.
Someone gave me flowers, held them in my hand.
Looked at them for many hours, didn't understand.
Go on and fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hand,
I'll give back your flowers, and I will take the land.
And I will drink the wine, and I will take the land.
I will drink the wine.

Conservatory

The conservatory is part of the HKU, ‘Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht’ (Highschool for the Arts Utrecht). A complete education course is offered, from preparatory trainings to masters. A broad range of musical genres is offered. Classical, old and contemporary music, jazz and pop: everything is possible when you can choose from 40 different main subjects. Not only the techniques of making music are taught, attention is also paid to music theory and possible future jobs. That is why the conservatory organizes concerts and cultural events in Utrecht and the rest of the country on a regular basis.

The building in front of you was build in 1895 as the hospital of the brothers of Johannes de Deo in a neo-gothic style. From the architectural point of view the building is of great value as a typical example of urban development at the end of the 19th century. In 1971 Johannes de Deo found his new destination as a music school. De chapel is in large part still intact and is nowadays in use as a concert hall.

Some musicians who are internationally famous by now have started their education here at the conservatory in Utrecht. A good example is violinist Janine Jansen. Worldwide she is known and appreciated as a special and talented artist. She performed solo in famous concert halls en co-operated with worlds greatest orchestras like the New York philharmonic, the Londen Philharmonis and the Orchestre de Paris.

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
