EEN MUZIEK REIS

Het gevoel van groot zijn,
met energie uitstraling.
Helend raken we elkaar aan,
in de diepte van het bestaan.

Zuiver volg ik het verhaal,
het gesprek zonder woorden.
Mijn vingers over jouw buik,
alleen om met je te praten.

--------------------------------

MY MUSIC VOYAGE

This feeling is a great one.
The energy flow is good.
We touch each other slowly
to find our deeper selves.

I follow our conversation,
without words or signs.
My fingers on your body,
in this way I talk with you.

------------------------------

The feeling of energy
flowing over the body,
it is like talking slowly
and deeper than normal.

There are memories inside
that really can change
without knowing why.
It is a changing memory.

Old wounds are healed,
old thoughts are changed.
It is cleaning up inside.
We do not have to hide.

We are the stars that shine.
A hand touches the hands,
the shoulders and your face.
It is you that I now embrace.

Two hands touch two hands.
A short humming is heard
near the place of the heart.
That is where it all will start.

Your energy and mine
is really super fine.
We are having a line
from the six to the nine.

We eat, drink and hold all
the energy in one big ball.
It is you that I want to call.
You are my Goddess, so tall.

HOREN EN SPELEN

Een instrument bespelen,
is eigenlijk heel makkelijk.
Er zijn klankstaven, bellen,
fluiten en synthesizers.

Een beetje proberen is goed.
Zomaar wat doen is ook goed.
Doe maar wat, studeer niet,
beschouw het als ontdekken.

---------------------------------

LISTEN AND PLAY

Playing an instrument
is easy and rewarding.
Woodblocks, a set of bells,
flutes and synthesizers.

Trying a little is very good.
Keep on doing something.
By doing it with no exercise
you are a new discoverer.

-------------------------------

This is how you can play
without knowing what to do:
Do not search for a song,
let your fingers do the work.

It all begins with ONE tone.
Now play it very slow, relax.
Then you make a next tone.
It is just like composing.

Playing is not about results.
It is all about 'no silence'.
Remember this and play.
Fill the air with your sound.

It is different to be active
instead of just listening.
It is like putting up a flag,
your very own nice flag.

Play music with 'no silence',
and keep on filling the air,
one tone after the other.
Please have a low speed.

Enjoy the new sounds,
make new melodies today.
It is not about 'how',
it is all about 'NOW'.

Playing by yourself
is a perfect relaxation.
It is good for your mind
and personal growth.

Play without questions,
do not want any result.
Just make a lot of tones,
without long silences.

Focus the mind on filling
the silence with sounds.
Do not think, start doing.
you will be rewarded.

KLANKENWERELD

Heus waar, muziek is méér.
Muziek is klank, struktuur,
energie en levenswijsheid,
een onzichtbaar symbool.

Je kunt leven met woorden,
handelen op basis van taal.
Maar in tonen zit een kracht
van beleven in het heden.

--------------------------------

THE MUSIC WORLD

It is true, music is more.
It has a powerful structure
with energy for your life.
It is the invisible symbol.

You can live with only words,
and see language as a guide.
But music has the power
to create a new magical world.

-----------------------------------

Some examples:

I can play an instrument
to give my mind a relaxation.
I do not need word therapy,
or a radio show or a book.

Reading and playing music
exercises my brain.
I do not need word puzzles
or answering a quality quiz.

I can feel love, passion
and drama in music.
I do not need a novel,
a movie or a good play.

There is a always a choice:
using words or music.
Music without words
gives more musical power.

Music tells me how to live:
The basic tone is about me.
The other tones are about
you, he, she, we and the rest.

Playing one tone after the
next tone means the one step
after the other.
I keep the right focus.

Music, the invisible symbol.
It is the invisible book
of life, my dreams and hope.
It keeps me calm and free.

OPNIEUW ZOEKEN

Het leven is kleur, geur, ritme,
impuls, gevoel, durf, trillen.
Nog veel meer zou ik willen.
Het gaat anders dan gepland.

De weg zoeken is anders,
vol veranderingen op je pad.
Op een andere manier denken.
Dit mág, ook al wijkt het af.

-----------------------------------

LIVE DIFFERENT

A life full of colour, smell,
rhythm, impulse, feeling,
and lots of vibrations.
It always will go different.

Finding the way is reality.
So many changes on my path.
I learn to think different.
This is my personal freedom.

--------------------------------

To think and live different,
this is not a problem.
There are so many ways
to live a creative life.

I start something new.
Using this writing in my way.
Personal freedom, I love it.
I like to experiment a lot.

I choose the safe way.
No drugs, no shouting.
Inventing is my personality.
I harm nobody with music.

Creating the feeling of safety,
it is good to relax and dream.
I feel love for life, for living.
I feel love in plants and air.

A human is not old or young.
A human being is a smart one.
A life time full of tricks,
a human moves and plays well.

I like being an ageless person.
I like loving people around me.
I like the planet, the sky.
I like being alive, today.

STRALEND GELUK

Wat mooi om via aanraking,
samen met liefde te stralen.
Kneden, aaien, echte aandacht.
Liggend weer jong worden.

Strelende handen die zoeken
naar het spoor van energie.
Deze loopt over je lichaam,
sensitief spoor ik die op.

---------------------------------

I FEEL LIKE A SUN

How nice it is to touch you,
we are in bright sunlight.
Love and interest we feel,
becoming forever young.

The hands are searching,
following the path of energy.
It is a flow in your body,
I can sense it all over you.

---------------------------------

I like you, you are very good.
You are a shining light.
Your voice is sweet.
You are radiant, forever nice.

'The Beautiful', that is you.
With a beautiful face
you shine in my shadow
helping us to transform.

A high being is by my side,
I love how you are,
you are my shining star.
We are happy in love with life.

BUIGENDE TONEN

Twee soorten tonen zijn er:
'Basis-toon' en 'Veranderlijke'.
De eerste blijft op één hoogte,
de tweede doet dat niet.

Dat 'buigen' lijkt op 'glijden',
zoals een sirene ook wel doet.
De toon buigt ook naar omlaag.
Viool, fluit, en stem kunnen het.

-----------------------------------

BENDING MY TONE

There are two kinds of tones:
'Basic tone' and 'changing tone'.
The first one stays on one level.
The second one will not do this.

'Bending' sounds like 'gliding',
just like the way a siren does.
It also can bend downwards.
Violin, flute and voice can do it.

-----------------------------------

I use these changing tones
to create sweet micro tones.
The fun is that they bend,
they are not fixed, they move.

Sometimes it has the flavour
of a slow playing blues guitarist.
A 'moving' tone is mysterious.
They have a kind of freedom.

There are also bending tones
which go from the microtone
towards the basic tone.
It is the other way around.

Some bending tones surprise.
They go from the basic tone
up-down-up, or down-up.
There are lots of variations.

When someone speaks
there is so much bending.
Tough words are more basic.
Sweet words bend very much.

To imitate a computer voice
we only use the basic tones.
Bending downwards is crying,
going upwards is being happy.

The fact that a piano has only
basic tones does not mean
that we do not need bending.
Modern synthesizers can do it.

DE KLANK AAN MIJ

Spelen met mensen erbij
kan soms knap lastig zijn.
De melodie naar hun toe,
of 'de klank aan mij'?

Mijn antwoord kwam snel,
ik luisterde naar mijn spel,
ik beoordeelde het ZELF!
Zo speel ik warmer en vrijer.

--------------------------------

MY MELODY FOR ME

When I play music for people
it can be very difficult.
Will I play towards them,
or is it 'my melody for me'?

My answer came came fast.
I listened to my playing,
I played what I REALLY liked,
as if I was the only listener!

---------------------------------

It did surprise me,
when I thought:
''Who is listening?''
It was not 'US' but 'ME'.

It is very strange to play,
and at the same time
feel absolutely free.
I know how to do it.

I am in a sort of trance,
I feel like dreaming,
following the energy flow,
then the music is so right.

Now I erased the opinion
of the public while I play.
There I only ONE ruler
of this personal music game.

There is ONE captain on a ship.
This is not about my ego,
it is about the true freedom
of the music and the player.

A musician is not a servant,
it is not work, not a job,
it is the creation of sounds
that follow an energy flow.

A real musician does not copy,
there is an instrument,
there is the sensitive player,
and there is the lively energy.

I feel like a sort of translator.
I feel like swimming in air.
I dive in my ocean full of light
and I translate this into sounds.

VAN UIT EEN BUIK

Dikwijls dacht ik zoveel
bij het tekenen en zingen,
maar nu doe ik dat anders:
het gebeurd vanuit de buik.

Met mijn handen voel ik
flink en goed mijn buik.
Ik kneed er zelfs ook in.
Vanuit dit gevoel gebeurd het.

----------------------------------

FROM THIS BELLY

First I used my own mind
with drawing and singing.
Now I do it different:
I use my very own belly.

With my hands I am feeling
the inner side of my belly.
Sometimes I do this strong.
From my belly it all begins.

JE SPEELT PIANO

Pianospelen kan iedereen.
Als je vertrouwen hebt
in vingers, handen en hoofd,
dan oefen je niet maar speel je.

Vertrouw in eigen klanken,
met een boekje er bij of zomaar
wat spelen met wat dromen.
Zelfs een kat speelt weleens zo.

-----------------------------------

PLAY YOUR PIANO

Everybody can play a piano.
If you have real contact
with fingers, hands and head
you are free of exercising.

Trust your own sounds,
from a book or do something
as if you are dreaming.
Even a cat can play like this.

-----------------------------------

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Today I want to say
that playing is easy.
If you love sound,
you have to play them slow.

Do not try to play a tune
that you heard before.
This will come later on.
First open up to sounds.

The first step is: interest.
Love an instrument,
love the sounds, play them.
Do not seek a tune you know.

The second step is: relax.
Enjoy what you are doing.
Discover all sounds gently.
Trust your own adventure.

The third step is: every day.
Play each day a little
at least for five minutes.
Exercise your hands.

The forth step is: read.
Read about the instrument.
Look at pictures of it.
Be confident with all actions.

The fifth step is: no repeat.
Do not repeat parts
of a musical creation.
Try to find more melodies.

TUSSEN DE TONEN

Horen wij die verschillen
tussen de MI en de FA?
En tussen de TI en de DO?
Ze heten de JU en de KA.

In de Dorische muziek
komen deze twee tonen
in een vloeiende lijn
zomaar tevoorschijn.

-----------------------------

MY LITTLE TONES

Do we hear differences
between the MI and the FA?
And between TI and DO?
Their names are JU and KA.

In the Dorian music
these two tones
come fluently and easy
in a spontaneous way

EEN ONTHULLING

In mijn muziek plaats ik
de ene toon na de andere.
Het geheel lonkt naar
een nieuwe passende toon.

De laatste toon lonkt naar
wat een speler werkelijk kan,
de onthulling komt op gang
door de gemaakte compositie.

----------------------------------

HIDDEN FORMULA

In my music I place a tone
after the other one.
The tones are in need of
the next exactly fitting tone.

The last tone really wants
the effort of a sensible one,
a player who can deliver
the sense of a true formula.

STADSE GEESTEN

Wie de sleutel gevonden heeft
ziet de echte bewoners
tussen al die mensen en huizen.
En niemand die ze ziet.

Ze zijn er in alle kleuren,
ze wuiven naar ons.
Dat ik dat niet eerder zag,
ze waren er al die tijd al !
-------------------------------------

GHOSTS IN A TOWN

If you really find the secret key
you will see the real beings
among people and their houses.
No one has ever seen them.

They are in all kinds of colours,
they wave at us so gently.
I could not see them before,
they were there all the time!

------------------------------------------

I have looked for so long
trying to find a paradise.
Last week I saw something
so strange, so beautiful.

In my city and in others
there are secret beings,
living a beautiful life for US.
And I did not even see them!

I discovered lots of beings.
They live everywhere.
I can touch them, feel them.
They speak with me, love me.

I have made deep contact,
after I discovered them.
By accident I found the key
that could open up my eyes.

And there they were,
this secret army, secret helpers,
all willingly wanting my eyes,
my hands, my ears, my heart.

They are the true city beings,
telling me the story of life,
happiness, love and peace.
I am so happy to meet them.

I call them 'Ghosts of a town'.
They are my paradise.
How happy I am to find them.
I see them joining in with me.

With them I have my freedom,
they are always there for me.
I know where the jewels are,
their golden nuggets and rings.

They have the golden rainbow.
A living rich pile of beauty,
heaps of gold, silver, diamonds.
I can take them and throw them.

I never ever have to worry.
My richness is so complete.
Imagine endless rows of jewels.
Forever it will be there!

-----------------

NIET NOTEREN NU

De verhalen verteller zegt :
''Het verhaal staat er niet,
opschrijven hoeft niet,
als er altijd weer een is.''

------------------------------

DO NOT WRITE NOW

The storyteller speaks:
''The story is not on paper.
No need to write it down
if new stories still come.''

-----------------------------

VARIATION :

''If I can have air today
why should I keep it?
The next day there will be
new air for me.''

---------------------------------------------------
AND SO IT SAID TO ME :

''The next step is life.
The past is a shadow.
Live in the next step,
try to forget the rest.''
---------------------------------------------------

FROM THE WRITER :

''I write this down
because I am creating
new reflections.
It is NOT from my memory.''
