I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Teun (b.1975) first picked up the drums by age of 8. His father gave him his first pair of sticks and it felt like santaclaus gave him 200 presents. After banging telephonebooks and mothers pots and pans he studied at the music school for young little pain in the asses as him. Soon starting to hate Vibraphone and Timpani (also tambourine and triangle), he started more appreciatating the girl flute studends and tryed to impress them playing in his first spacerockband Mind the gap.
After getting fed up with having to play always the same fills in rockbands he was getting interested in jazz-and improvised music. After two summercourses with dre pallemaerts he went to the concervatory of Brussels were he took lessons with Hans Van Oosterhout. Since graduating from this school in 1999 he started working as a sideman in lots of different bands and musical Styles. His searching for a personal touch and wanting to explore all possibilities of playing music and drums, his lack of boundaries and styles and trying to find fresh sounds and freedom in collectif improvisation made him work with:
Alexi Tuomarila 4tet and Trio, Jef Neve Trio, FES, VVG trio, Karanova (featuring Kitchen Motors from Iceland and Mauro Pawlowski), Molo Trio, Jambangle, Rackham, Pascal Schumacher 4tet, 4, JojoBa, Streams,Silent Song, Jozef Dumoulin Trio,...
On occasions he worked as a sideman with people as Erwin Vann, Jean Phillippe Viret, Edouard Ferlet, Erick Vloeimans, Anton Goudsmidt, Harmen Fraanje, Matts Eilertsen, Giovanni Mirrabassi, Paolo Fresu (with Jef Neve trio), Uri Cain (With FES), Michel Hatzi, Peter Hertmans, Natalie Lorriers, Diederik Wissels, Bart Defoort, Kris Defoort, Arif Durvesh (knitting Shawney), Kevin Armstrong, Pierre Vervloesem, Jan De Haas, Erick De Armas, Bart De Nolf, Manu Hermia, Sal La Rocca, Erik Vermeulen, Antton Walgraeve, Tom Wolf, Monsoon, Pieter Embrechts, Point Zéro, Cesarius Gadzina, Marco Locurcio,....
Being sideman was at a certan point not enough any more and he putted some own projects together with whom he wants to explore other ways of improvisation and playing music. Discovering Mike Pattons Fantomâs, Alas No Axis and Jim Black and other really cool bands got him hungry for more experiment with punk, noise, free and all that sort of things. Eager to explore other ways of playing drums and music gave following result:

Teun Was also invited by Jazz Middelheim to open their 25 Jubileum Festival with the program called Around a Drummer and he also got a carte Blanche at the 2005 Time festival, Gand.
