It’s been ten years since I returned to music. I’m not really into anniversaries, but after these ten years I had the feeling that I had to make something tangible. And that has now become the ‘A Quiet Place’ CD. Thirty six minutes total in digipack with my paintings as artwork.
During the ongoing Covid-19 lockdown I have been extremely lucky to have not been too adversely affected by the restrictions, so I’ve been able to continue working on various self-generated projects including new paintings and a second revised edition of ZWAMVLOK (Mycelium). Is it a book? Well yes, it does look like a book.
There are letters, drawings, words, sentences, quotes, collages, lines, paintings, linocuts & pictures. Maybe it’s more of a collage, a 30-page graphic improvisation. This edition of ZWAMVLOK was for sale until February 1, 2021.

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense.
I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.
