So, We Meet Again

There's a new EP out there, called So, We Meet Again.  It's part of my upcoming album 'Soothing Hymns For Bewildered Hearts. It will be a combination of piano pieces, and pieces with mesmerizing vocals by Robin Kester, Leine, Tamara van Esch and myself.


The piece So We Meet Again is a soundtrack to a recurring dream. When I was a kid, I regularly dreamed, I was being chased by a centaur, with my own face. Everywhere I went, he would appear. He could have a different size. Sometimes I’d pick up a pillow, and there he was. He didn’t do anything. He would just stared right at me. I didn’t know if the centaur was good news or bad news. Still, I was afraid.  Years went by without meeting my centaur alter ego in my dreams, until suddenly, he was back. He aged just as much as I did. I looked at him and saw myself in reflection of his eyes. But I didn’t see the present me, I saw the 8-year-old me. I gave him a big hug.
