"A video made with clips from my phone. The footage is from car rides, my backyard and nature shots in the Netherlands but also some more specific shots from the cities Leeuwarden and Rotterdam. The music is constructed with rehearsal material from this period of time."

"This piece is composed with the idea that following the script of your own (future) life would sometimes be very nice. Just follow the script, go with the flow and you just do and do not have to think about it. But life is uncertain, and not always a bed of roses. While writing the piece, I couldn't help being truly saddened and moved by the war in Ukraine too. It has influenced some parts of this future diary."

A commissioned piece for Domestica Rotterdam. "Were I to die is about saying goodbye. Although it's a modern composition, it's also related to the baroque music. My inspiration for the piece originates from the exact moment Lucrezia Borgia has to leave Rome for her third marriage. With this, she leaves her two-year old son Rodrigo behind. I divided the music in three parts whereby every part reflects an emotion in the process of saying goodbye. Which emotions they are, I'm leaving up to the imagination of the public. The lyrics (translated by Hugh Shankland) are by Lope de Estuñiga and partly mine. The lyrics are mainly in English but also some passages are in Spanish (amor) and Italian (amore)."

"I created a triptych about my cat Nala. She was with me for almost my entire childhood. Nala was a great hunter. There was one time that she dragged a big rabbit/hare inside our home! Op Jacht (I) is about one of the times the prey managed to get away. Op Schoot (II) is about her favorite place to lie down and sleep. Because we moved a lot when I was younger, Nala had to familiarize herself over and over again to new surroundings. Op Reis (III) is about the time she thought she knew the neighborhood but got lost. Eventually she found her way back home."

"Journey from Novice to Expert is about people who, being totally ignorant (novice) at first, become an expert on the downside of success. I composed this piece around the lyrics of Hotel California by The Eagles. I find the lyrics very intriguing because of the use of imagination in the metaphors and because of the dual significance. To emphasize the dual significance, I only used 12 keywords per verse to form the lyrics in my composition.And to make the lyrics even more imaginative, I reversed the order of the keywords per verse. This all adds to the theme of the song: the disillusion of the ideal American Dream."
