52 weeks challenge
In 2022 I started to regularly take long walks around the house. I live near the John Frost bridge in Arnhem, and within 5 minutes I am surrounded by nature. Looking around I started to become addicted to the sky. Inspired by the ever changing palette of clouds and colours I came home with a tune in my head every time, all very quiet and reflective.
Enter the 2023 challenge;
I will be releasing a fresh original piano composition every Monday for a whole year. Often it will be a solo piano piece, but you can expect additional instruments like my modular synth. You can listen to the pieces on all streaming platforms. Below here all covers with a short description will appear.
