Bio
Who am I? What did I do? Too much to mention. A few things will do here.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 i.e. to a broad spectrum of all kinds of genres. 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 ... My electronic music: real dreamscapes, 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. There are also some videos I made to illustrate some songs.
Members
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 (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 ... What's my main theme? TIME ... 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 ...
