Influences
There's so much...
Go check my friends!! It's an excellent selection (I'm not kidding!!) 'though I left out most of the pop, rock, hip hop, entertainement (...) that I like (yes I do sometimes like it! - some anyhow) because we don't need MySpace to know or find that...
Most of my 'Hot Club a.k.a. Django a.k.a. Gypsyswing a.k.a. Manouchejazz a.k.a. Sintiswing'-friends are on my DjanGo!-page (third of my topfriends...).
There's also a fine selection of graphics, arts, philosophy, science, literature...
Enjoy!
I'm sorry that I don't allow all requests... I really want to maintain a personal feel to my 'space'. It doesn't mean I don't respect, or even like, you.

When I was fourteen my father Koen De Cauter, since 'ever' a musician, started to give me some guitar lessons... and it suddenly took a life on its own. By the time I was eighteen I could manage to live from playing music.
From the mid nineties, music playing became very intense: bands, gigs, projects, recordings, tours...
After a while (...round the turn of the millennium...) I started to feel that I had to slow down a bit, and... there was so much more that I wanted to do. So I started to enjoy other things too: programming, organizing, recording, producing and my great passion: graphics.
On the other hand, playing music became such a essential part of my life that I just can't leave it behind me. One thing did change though: I don't care about genre or style anymore. From the moment I like the interpretation, something good is happening! And that's all that matters to me.
Jazz, world, folk, classical... whatever we do with it it's just notes that have to be played as good, honestly and beautifully as possible.
It's all love

Would you Interested in saving money at the pump, improving the power and life of your engine, extending your miles per gallon up to 25% and cutting back on harmful vehicle emissions up to 50% therefore every vehicle that uses eefuel would begin reducing carbon emissions equivanlant to planting 40 large mature trees thats remarkable. With a few ounces of EEFuel added to your tank of gas, you can achieve all of the above and so much more. No, this is not a info-mercial or spam advertisement. This is the real deal that will only help you and everyone around you. Join me in the fight against Global Warming and save some money along the way. Message me if interested, im also looking for distributors of eeFuel.
k sta met mijne rug naar 't land de zee hoor ik vertellen van wolken 'lijk 'ne gouwen brand de gletsjer, licht 'lijk diamant en meeuwen niet te tellen maar al die zuiverheid ten spijt die schoonheid uit mijn dromen kan ik er toch niet neven zien dat heel de kust al lang verging tesamen met de stromen
ik lig te rusten in het mos en 'k hoor de bomen zingen over de zomer in het bos en van den herfst rood en ros en winterschemeringen maar al die wonderen ten spijt die fierheid van de bomen kan ik er toch niet boven staan dat bossen woordeloos vergaan 't is niet meer te betomen
op wandel in de metropole geniet ik van de klanken van de beweging en de lol het bruisend leven, overvol en 'k let niet op de stanken maar al die dynamiek ten spijt het jachten van die bendes blijft het me bijten 'lijk een luis dat steden kruimelen tot gruis of namen in legendes
'k wil niet meer wijzen op de pijn van deez' vermoeide tijden 't zou boter aan de galg zijn en hier staan preken voor de schijn wil ik het liefst vermijden maar alle bitterheid ten spijt en alle bange vragen grif ik hier zonder veel lawijt een simpel teken in den tijd vandaag en alle dagen
