A one man band: so ... me, myself and I :-) assisted by my synths and drum machines, the real and the virtual ones.
Influences
My music has been influenced by the musical oeuvre of Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze, Eno, Wendy Carlos, Tomita and the bigger-than-life sound of Pink Floyd ..., has been inspired by my experiences of life, by some specific architecture and art, by the computer visuals (moving fractals) of G-Force and Whitecap (produced by Soundspectrum) and the real landscapes and skies, painted by Mother Nature, in several weather conditions that I observe when walking with sounds coming on: embryos of "songs" ...
You can watch some pictures of visual influences on the creation of my electronic soundscapes in the section on the right: about Jan Loenders. The selected photographs just give an impression of a huge variety of visual stimuli that help create my picture music, as some of my pieces may be considered ... Other "songs" express emotions or a certain state of mind or the auditive imagination of a concept.

Sounds Like
myself, I hope, playing real synthesizers, drum machines and using computer software, stimulated by the brilliant musical masterpieces of the artists mentioned above, who pioneered in the field of electronic music, with slight influences of some techno, new age, dance, trance, ambient, classical and minimal music ...
Please don't forget to turn off the above player on the right, if you want to hear the pieces here below on the Flash MP3 Players!
These electronic compositions reflect a variety of styles: "classical" electronic music, retro-electronica, experiments in music, evocative picture music, ambient sounds or soundtracks in the background of my/our life ...
Though – through my music – I try to escape from time, I’m just very aware of it “ticking away the moments that make up a … day”.
...
Dreamtime navigator Jan Loenders presents electronic auditive imaginations of concepts, emotions, states of mind, landscapes etcetera in our universe ...

I studied at the KULeuven University and became a Master in Germanic Philology.
Music ist just my hobby, which means that I didn't take any lessons in musical notation or musicology. I've just been listening to music intensively since 1972, that's to say to a broad spectrum of all kinds of genres such as rock, pop, folk rock, symphonic rock, psychedelic music, fusion jazz, classical music ... and I've grown particularly interested in electronic music and its countless variations throughout time. So music has become my passion.
I've been playing the synthesizers myself for about 15 years or more, always improvising without having recorded anything. I even stopped playing for 15 years ...
Now that we've got this magnificent computer technology to record our own music in a relatively simple way, I started making and performing my own compositions in the summer of 2005. I experienced that being creative, especially composing and refining unfinished creations, as well as listening to good music is a catalyst for happiness. This has resulted - for the time being - in approximately 60 pieces of electronic music: real dreamscapes or perhaps "dream-escapes", always inspired by reality itself or some perceptions of it. Ten of them live their own life on the standard player of MySpace. You can listen to them, if you wish.
As a bonus there are some more songs on the Flash MP3 Players on the left. Don't forget to turn off the standard player, if you would like to listen to the music on the Flash Players. There are also some videos I made to illustrate my songs.

Hello dear Jan!! Have a wonderful Xmas and a Happy and productive New Year for you and yours!! I wish that all your wishes just will be a little taste of what you will get!! With all my admiration!! Un fuerte abrazo desde Mèxico!!!
Hello dear Jan, thank you very much for your kindly comment!! I'm very honoured for your friendship and support!!! Have an excellent week-end!!! Un fraternal abrazo desde Mèxico!!!
Well, I like that classical touch and also the soundtrack elements plus the electronic approach of all this in your latest piece "Movin' Forth Tumblin' Down".
Helo, Jan Loenders. I hope things are going well. I’m here to present you a new ethnical remix (called "Testamento Da Árbore") with influences of house music produced for the folk band “Coanhadeira”. Real instruments like bagpipes, acoustic guitars and other classical sounds played by the band are included. The track is sung in "gallego", a particlar languaje similar to Portuguesse that's spoken where me and this band are living. If you are interested in getting this remix for your radio show, dj sets or whatever, don’t hesitate to contact me, please. Other even more important thing is if you are feeling uncomfortable with this comment, please, send me a private message aswel letting me know about it. This is really important for me! :) Big big hugs.
Thanks a lot for the add. DG relies heavily on the support of people like you and I hope you check out our music and website. The latest release from DG is a 4-track EP entitled Motorcade, we hope you check it out and enjoy it! http://www.digitalgeist.com Thanks again!
