Myspace Backgrounds
Just to explain my love for traditional music: I was born in Ieper (Ypres) and still live there. From since I was a kid I've seen and heard Scottish bands playing the great warpipes on the market place and under the Menin Gate. So that has always sound familiar to me.
In 1976 I went to Ireland (on a holiday) and learned to love Irish music hearing the Chieftains = first contact with Uillean pipes and Celtic harp. A couple of years later, as I wanted to hear more 'Celtic' music, I discouvered the music of Brittany (Alan Stivell).
In 1984 I learned that there was something called traditional Flemish music, hearing 't Kliekske for the first time 'live'. They were playing some kind of bagpipes that I had seen somewhere in the paintings of Pieter Brueghel = first contact with Flemish bagpipes. They also played some strange instrument called the 'hurdy-gurdy'.
Some years later my brother let me hear the sound of the French bagpipes ( Jean Blanchard, Eric Montbel, Philippe Prieur). In 2000 I went for the first time to the Dranouter Folk Festival. There I saw some my favorites in live performance. There was also a Belgian group called Trivelin. Listening to them I heard for the first time medieval and renaissance music on the bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy. From that moment I was completely sold: I just had to learn to play those 2 instruments myself! So I started with hurdy-gurdy in 2001 (got my first lessons from Iep Fourier) and with the Flemish pipes in 2003 (first lessons from Pieter Blondelle). Now I'm still studying those instruments at the Volksmuziekschool in Ieper. My professors are Stefan Timmermans (bagpipe) and Paul Garriau (hurdy-gurdy).
As for my love of classical music, I've listened to it all my live long. I can't count the times I came home from school and found my mother playing the piano (mostly Chopin). A traditional sunday afternoon began listening to the radioprogram called 'Belcanto'. The first LP's we had at home were from composers like Bach, Brahms, Bruckner, Rimsky-Korsakov, Gerschwin. When I was about 17, I learned more about Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak and others at school. I just loved all of it. And I still discover more and more composers and performers.
Wereldkaart:
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... sing & dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... cantamos y bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
