With some much needed time off, I feel blessed to have a place where I can retreat and just relax. Currently I spend some days at my country house, practising and composing at my own pace, while also taking long walks, reading and firing up the stove; all while enjoying the silence of the rural surroundings. With all the commotion and madness going on around the world, it is vital to me to get some time away from all the noise and ruckus, to sometimes solely be in the company of myself; my habits, thoughts and emotions. Refreshing!

The work on my latest composition in the “Yokai” project, a male and female duet titled “Anonymous Anomalies”, is under way in my newly furnished composing corner. This fast swing piece will, of course, be published here upon completion.

I wish all you visiting here a really nice and happy February!
