What I Learned From 10,000 Musicians At an early age, my father showed me some moves on an old handmade, nylon string guitar that he had traded for a couple of packs of cigarettes on the WWII Dutch warfront.

ABOUT
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer.

I have played and recorded in international settings a multitude of percussion instruments, guitar, bass, harmonica, some flutes, keyboard, and, if you push me, a very fine jaw harp.

I toured Canada, the USA, and Europe and recorded many "world music" albums (before it was called that) with my late musical soul mate, Dario Domingues. We played in grand churches, the water reservoirs under Munich, on an island where 100,000 doves were released at the climax of our performance, the first-ever "simulcast", live satellite, intercontinental concert, and then the humbling experience of being involved in Berlin in front of 500,000 people for a series of anti-apartheid concerts featuring 'Sting'. For our 'world music' efforts, we were awarded the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis (1983) accolade by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie, an association of recording companies of Germany that recognizes outstanding achievement in the music industry.

"Dream of the Drum" – I was commissioned to compose and conduct a score for 40+ percussionists from all corners of the world... Jamaican fire dancers, Trinidadian steel drummers, Japanese kodo drummers, African djembe players, military drummers... the list goes on.
