Goodbye New York City. You’ve been hard work, and beautiful. Back to Amsterdam now for lots of concerts, curation, writing , recording and directing. #newyork #bigapple @ispaglobal @thegloballeadersprogram
Visiting NYC.
Fascinated by @aerocene —>
A stateless state,
both tethered
and free floating;
a community,
an open source initiative;
a name for change,
and an era to live and breathe in.
Been reading.
Back tomorrow
to busy buzz.
But with books
to brighten brains.

Today’s outfit slightly less pink.
Emergency roof terrace repairs!
The joys of online schooling on Valentines Day! Only great big pink 💞 to all my fellow cohort members at @thegloballeadersprogram
It’s a dream to be working and learning with you.
Imagining what my studio would look like with a painting of @dadara_art in it. #nftart #perspectives
Finally fit for flying. Bought myself a gift to cancel the noise after 10 days of isolation. Listening to @idagioofficial on #sonywh1000xm4 and feeling sound! Looking forward to some homeward @klm ‘ing (is that a verb?)
I was in Amman this week. My Jordanian friend Malak took me on a hike with some of her friends and family. We walked through the beautiful hills of Ajloun. I was however a bit shocked by the amount of garbage people leave behind, but it gives me hope that some people are good enough to clean up after others. People, please, don’t trash tis earth and if you do see plastic in nature, help her a little like we did. It’s a really small effort.
PS: the tea was delicious! (See last photo for preparation method 😅)

Turning a page.
Starting something new.
Something that will make me more… more me.
Dear friends, I’m happy to announce that this very-soon-to-be forty-two-year-old has been accepted into @thegloballeadersprogram during which I will focus on the social impact of music and try develop a worldwide solidarity fund for artists.

Lieve Amsterdammers,
Jullie hebben een grote bek. Ik waardeer dat.
Zullen we die bekken eens op elkaar afstemmen en samen een nieuw koorstuk instuderen? Het is geschreven door Guido van der Werve en we worden begeleid door een orkest. Ik geef je dan drie workshops voorafgaand aan de uitvoering op 7 oktober, met borrel natuurlijk! Doe je mee?
Meer informatie in de link van NDSM hieronder!
No really… I 🖤 my job.

The last day of my composer's residency... the last movement of Bach's third Cello Suite.
It has been a wonderful journey, both inward (musically) and outward (online). ❤️Thank you all for being a part of it ❤️
I will continue to make videos when back in Amsterdam. If you want to hear more, don't forget to subscribe on youtube.

Any Germans out there who know why it's called an Allemande and where the interesting rhythms of this movement come from? (Towards the end I manage to get it danceable, I think...)

There was a party in the house! It started a bit cautious but in the end.... I HAD SO MUCH FUN!
This is the last movement of Bach's second Cello Suite. I really feel that the level of my playing has improved over the past few weeks. Is it just me or do you notice that too?

This one feels a bit like a conversation between a couple that has been together for ages. At least, that's what I hear in it.
What do you think?

If my calculations are correct, the dear gentleman would have turned 336 today. To celebrate him and his marvellous music, here's another movement: nice'n slow with golden glow... Sarabande

You know what? I found this one hard and I think it's because I can't pinpoint what I'm missing.
-Am I not accentuating the right notes to get the different voices to sing?
-Is it something in my phrasing?
-Should it be played more 'in time'?
I'm curious to hear what you think!

Time for a new Suite.
Number one is bright and shiny.
Number two dives inward.
So did I...
Hope you like it!

In fact, I've created a dedicated playlist, so you can hear them all in order if you like. Today I uploaded the Menuets and you might notice I am feeling groovy today 😎
Also a happy and strong International Women's Day to all you powerhouses out there! ✋

A beginning, something in the middle where you mess up and an end. Then it starts all over again.
Last night, I was analysing the next movement for this little new video series of me enjoying myself with the Bach Cello Suites.
I know it isn't news, but this man was SO GOOD! The Allemande is basically like any other hit song nowadays: just a repetition of 3 chords. Until last night I honestly had no idea of this complex simplicity. But I suppose that's just life... three chords: I-II-V-andbackto -I-
A beginning, something in the middle where you mess up and an end. Then it starts all over again. (Plus an extra heartbeat if you subscribe to my channel on the U-tube!)
Hope your days are also beautiful!

Day 0 of my four weeks composition residence. I’m clearly in the mood for a month of music!
How do you keep busy on long journeys?
