While studying classical guitar at the conservatory, I became interested in music from other cultures (initially Indonesian gamelan) and contemporary music. Inspired by the music of pioneers like John Cage, I started experimenting with sounds and materials myself. With a large dose of play instinct and curiosity, a fairly extensive range of instruments has emerged from these experiments over the years. The experiments didn't stop with string instruments - my original domain as a guitarist. I expanded my work to wind and percussive instruments. What they all have in common is their minimalism, their reduction to the simplest -which is why I sometimes like to call them "backbreeds". Electric pickups and amplification replace the resonance body and at the same time act like an acoustic microscope that can penetrate into tonal micro-worlds. There are always new ways of playing and combinations to be discover. Questions about the nature of music and sound production also arise again and again.
