CURRENT MISSION

music, write, music, write, music, write

ABOUT ME

Moved from the Dutch city Den Haag (The Hague, La Haye) to Dublin to Dundalk to... Ravensdale... the countryside of Ireland! In jan '08 it finally happened; I moved to a place in between the sheep; they are in the garden!

Working as a freelance journalist & translator, the music brought me to Ireland. I play the violin/fiddle and sing, am recording a cd with an Irish singer/songwriter (Fergal) at the moment (we are called The Candides; myspace.com/thecandides).

In my new place, where I live with Fergal, I want to fully concentrate on music and writing.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.
(not always easy to do though)

Interests

* I write articles for newspapers/ magazines and am working on a novel
* Music! The Candides; which can be described as art pop, film music, classical, rock, well: something of everything.
And a 'good' musician loves to listen of course.
Golden Earring, Paul Simon, Dvorak, Yann Tiersen, Paul McCartney, Supertramp, etc etc.
* Painting
* Photography
* Novels (still so many to read!)
* Walking/cycling in nature - it's a lot of cycling now, from where I live to town and back (into town takes 30 min. - downhill - back takes almost an hour - uphill) ...
