On myself
Raised in Thailand and Uganda my appetite for musical adventures takes me all over the globe, exploring and redefining divergent traditions. I am always on the lookout for vibrant collaborations with unique voices in music, far from conventional, hitting the essence and celebrate life.
I want my music to be of uncompromising quality. I have a way of in music to do not the obvious, to do it different. As an improviser and composer I own a personal language that combines aesthetics and techniques of contemporary classical music with the virility of jazz. I do transport my horn into areas of contemporary music, deliver a sound, giving my instrument dimension and depth. I cherish real-time sound production, using complex extended flute techniques and electronic effects and love to casually shatter any stereotypes around the flute.
Next being around on the Dutch music scene for around 30 years I hold up an international touring career. I particularly gained much international acclaim for my solo recitals, my interpretations of Afro-Cuban religious folklore or my collaborations with Turkish free improvised kinds of music.
My music has a very filmic quality and often comes in a surprising setting and or concept. Since the pandemic, my activities increasingly bear witness to social issues. Genre-bending collaborations is spanning an arc of collaborations with jazz, contemporary music and different forms of world music crossovers, next to theater, performance art, visual arts, film and dance.
Maintaining a heavy schedule in multiple capacities as soloist, composer, producer, bandleader, teacher and curator. Seeking to capitalize on the music-hungry fanbase that developed in the Utrecht area, I launched festivals and concert series, serving the community through the arts. I am passionately committed to music education and outreach, having given clinics and masterclasses around the world.
Obsessed by music I use my voice to reach a world beyond. I surrender completely to artistic expression.
