Welcome to my Music Pages.
|
 |
 |
As you can see on the top of this page I have made different pages for
different periods in my musical life.
Beginning is about my first encounter with music and the start of
instrument playing. There is little music here of myself, because I have no
recordings of that period.

Playing accordion is the period from 1957 to
1972, the Connection
period is also during that period, but started of course much later as
you can see in the photos.
During the Connection-period, named after
the group I played in, I still played the accordion. The two television
performances in 1972, after the breaking up of the Connection, were in fact
my last performances. After that I started working with the NOS (Dutch
Broadcasting Foundation).

At work there was not much time to play music but sometimes I did and
after a few years I played weekly with a few of my colleagues and several recordings were
made during that time. Especially for a radio programm about the music of radio-engineers I played
with different colleagues in different groups. I always played fender and
synthesizer and arranged and/or composed. These recordings are present here.
|
| The SVEM-period was from 1982 - 1989. It was also at work and my
specialities were in fact radio-plays and electronic music. SVEM stands for Studio for
Verbosonics and Electronic Music.
Centre of the studio was the CMI
Fairlight IIx and from 1986 the Fairlight III. Of course we had more
synthesizers (Roland, Korg, Yamaha) and the famous Linn-drums to make the
music. |

During and after the SVEM-period, I did some composing at home too.
When I worked in the SVEM I sometimes started at home and took the MIDI-files
with me to continue in the SVEM or what I started in the SVEM I took home to
work on. When the SVEM closed in 1990 or 1991 (I
already left) I continued some years at home. My compositions never came out
of the demo-stage. |

In 1996 I did some work for the KRO, a broadcasting company, starting up a
computer broadcast system from France, called Dalet. July 1997 I left the NOB
and started working for the KRO, where I still work (2005). I did some music
at home in 1996-1997, but then I stopped altogether and didn't touch an
instrument untill 2004. So the next period starts in 2004.
At home now I have a Yamaha PSR3000, an arranger keyboard, and
besides just playing, I started composing again.
My present work can be found on
these pages. This will be a page that will be updated now and then.....
unless my inspiration dries up!
