Another episode of strange stories and emotions wrapped up as
Part II in the AMAZING BUBBLE series.
The series is based on improvisation sessions with modular synthesis and field recordings as main ingredients. I am interested in the quest for hidden harmonies by weaving modular basses, melodies, drones, noises and rhythms with layers of manipulated field recordings. For me a world to enter, to create amazing bubbles.

Reviews:
"It seems there are very few steps that keep the work of the Dutch composer from becoming an example of modern classical music rather than just ambient.....Amazing Bubble II is a rich, diverse and multi-layered work. Each track is akin to a movie scene. It can be compared to a soft and tender structure with sharp edges in the shape of acute sounds of modular synthesizers"

"The luminous and cinematic quality that presented itself on the original EP is augmented by yet another episode of gravitational ambiences gently tugging on buried memories. A symphony of transportive bubbles that are quite simply amazing."

"..het zijn twintig enerverende minuten waarin je oren veel nuances, verschuivingen van klanklagen en muzikale bewegingen krijgen te verstouwen. Een enkele keer neigt de muziek naar geluidskunst en de experimenteerdrift straalt ervan af, maar het blijft toch echt muziek, temperamentvolle elektronische muziek waarin klankkleuren verschieten en onvoorspelbaarheid een kracht is.""
