Balfolk music

From an early age on I’ve been making my own music. When I was around 15 was years old we had a grand piano in the living room. Which I started playing more and more often in secret. An addiction quickly developed. I took classes for 4 years which developed my background is classical music like Chopin and Beethoven. The rest I taught myself. Simeon Ten Holts music is a big inspiration to me and and my all-time favourite.

I came in contact with Balfolk around 2010. The strong connection between music and dance/movement appealed to me from the start. It inspired me to compose my first Balfolk piece in 2013. It opened up such a wonderful new world to me. The new rhythms and the huge freedom in certain aspects. It gave me lots of inspiration. Many works followed in the past years. I love mellow tunes, dissonants, fragile melodies and dynamics bringing passages to a climax. I also love variations in rhythm, which resulted in a Mazurka in 13, Mazurka/Scottish, hybrid Waltzes in 8/5 and 5/11, a Gavotte de l`aven/Waltz and more.
