Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point

My new album with Radboud Mens

Working with Radboud Mens on this album was a true pleasure, an inspiration, and a joy. We pushed this album to the limit, listening and revisiting it until everything felt just right, yet the spontanity remains intact. Even now, the album feels perfect in every way—from the creative process to the album art and the label. The limited CD edition sold out in just a few days, but you can still enjoy the download.

This album explores the tension between horizontal and vertical musical events. The horizontal elements create an illusion of immobility, yet within this apparent silence, small acoustic events introduce an elusive dynamic. What one listener perceives as an inconspicuous sonic detail might be considered by another as the focal point of their auditory experience.

‘Orientation’ is taken from my upcoming album with Radboud Mens ‘Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point’

In this video, the scenery reflects the tension between horizontal and vertical musical events described in the album, where the apparent stillness reveals small, dynamic acoustic occurrences that can be perceived differently by each listener. What one perceives as an inconspicuous sonic detail, another can consider the focal point of their auditory experience.
