"Exordiums" is a new unreleased piece of music, specially written for this performance at the E-Day festival in Eindhoven, May 20th 2023. A continuous suite in 9 parts, total time 1 hour and 13 minutes. Also included a cover version based on "Sunrain" by Manuel Göttsching, one of the true pioneers of the German electronic music scene.

I wanted to make a very rhythmic set, with lots of expressive electric guitar in front. Not so ambient this time. Consisting of a very melodic music with dynamic layers of sequencer patterns and atmospheric chord textures. I guess these parts show some of my prog rock influences. Music I grew up with in the 60 and 70ties. Music that has influenced me ever since, more or less. But on this opus it is even more obvious, probably.

What you hear is an unedited recording of the concert, with some rough edges which is cool. Together with a simple video recorded from one camera. I had a great time performing, in front of a fantastic audience which gave me an extra positive vibe. And it was a very nice venue too, at a sold out CKE concert hall in the center of the city.

Special thanks to Ron Boots and Monique Boots-Wanten for hospitality!

Many listeners and fans have asked us if this music is available as a CD/digital album release. There are currently no plans for this at this time, but it will be considered later in 2025. So the music is currently only available here on YouTube.

Enjoy!
