Mission

To expand the boundaries of music - is what I ought to do. This is something that stayed with me since early youth. This is the only thing about the reasons I make music that is certain.

I didn't know the HOW for a long time.  Firstly I was a blues and later Progressive Rock follower/player/composer. But only since I came to the West  (first the Netherlands and then UK) I realized: it's the music of the East that is undiscovered and has that potential of expanding. It is the music of the East that has the secret code hidden in it: its amazing, mind-blowing rhythms, it's out-of-this-world scales, its warmth, wisdom, depth... Combined with the advanced harmony, sophistication and longer written tradition of the music of the West - that was - that is for me the answer of the HOW.
 
Combine them. Use the mesmerizing odd signature rhythms of the East, which sound so natural in their own environment and languages and mix them, fuse them with Blues, Rock, Classical. Apply the colorful scales and the humane feel from the East and make the New Progressive Music of the 21st Century.
 
On this website presented are the public results of that labour. In as much as possible logical order.
