About Me

Absurdism - (Black) Humor - Open Minded - Music - Single - Astronomy - Psychology - Freedom - Piano - Nature - Science etc....

Love playing piano.
Def not a virtuoso, although, sometimes people think so when they hear me play.
(it's a matter of frame of reference and perspective i guess haha ;-) )

I also compose music:
Sometimes on piano, more with computer, synthesizers, drumcomputers and stuff :-)

I like a broad variety of music:

Classical
(anything, from baroque to post-romanticism and impressionism)

Think of composers like:
Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Domenico Scarlatti,
JS Bach. Satie (Gnossiennes!) Debussy etc...

Electronic music like
The more creative, indiviualistic and futuristic techno, IDM (not to be mistaken as EDM ;-)) ,
Electro, Triphop etc...

Think of producers/bands like:
Massive Attack, Portishead, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Plaid....etc .....

In general i have great appreciation for any music that feels/sounds individualistic, authentic,
honest and real to me. I'm not that much a big fan of putting music in boxes. It is wat it is :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a graduated as Bachelor of Music/Arts, and did have performances in several places in Europe ,
but the last 2 years i worked with people with a kind of disability (like a more light form of down syndrome) which was a really educational experience.

When it comes to what i like about /in people, there are a lot of similarities in what i look for/like in music ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play/teach piano (not to very experienced virtuoso's. Beginners and more advanced beginners) produce/compose music, have moderate knowledge of music theory, know how synths work, work with albeton.
I could teach/share with you in one of these area's :-)

I also really enjoy having more deeper personal conversations....

What I Can Share with Hosts

I release music as Area Forty_One.
If interested, you could look it up at your favorite online store or streaming service or even buy it on vinyl ;-)
