Around music #1 (2006) and #2 (rev. 2018)
Around music attempts to be a philosophical-humoristic reflection about the rituals of modern music and the concert situations.

Around music is music to be heard, music to be seen.
Electricity, molecules, and feelings
“Electricity is like the air which is vibrating during sound waves.” (William Beaty) In my piece Afterlife, a trumpet speaks “electricity language” playing in counterpoint with a neon lamp.

Time machine (2011) – program notes
There are three people sitting in a room; they are just staying but also remembering the past and dreaming about the future all at the same time. It is always difficult to say what now and here means because our hearts gets always confused about organizing emotions on a timeline.
Koen rewinds, anticipates and plays the cassette player as a metaphor of past (and future?) memories. Bas plays a radio that catches the air in an ever-flowing present. Nora moves back and forth from the piano in a rocking chair, looped in her own clock.
Music is a powerful time machine, traveling through chronologically organized sounds, but mainly through the mixed archeology of our emotions.
Gespleten piano (2010)
Cuando era chica mi papá había construido una puertita de chapa con la tapa de un viejo lavarropas, en el patio de mi departamento. Una vez atravesada, la mini puerta te conducía a un patio paralelo – que en realidad era el mismo.
