Buddha

This song was influenced by a life-changing experience when traveling through South-Africa. It was eventually sent in as an admission track for the University of the Arts in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

BEACH

A composition that merely started with a guitar progression and later expanded to a larger production with piano, strings and a 'piano-reverbed snare'. A cinematic atmosphere was kept in mind during the creation of the track.

The Travel

This track was made with the aim to construct a song of about a minute that would show my individuality as a musician and composer. I always tend to strive for a rough energy in my music. This could either mean a rise in tension, or simply a use of real instruments playing as loud as they can...

The City

All it takes is a rainy day, a piano and an empty house.
