My great passion in life is music. Especially when it is made with a purpose, a ritual, meditation or for film.
I have a long time cooperation with the amazing musician and friend, Avi Adir, who lives and breathes music. There is always a strong sense of soul and presence in his playing, whether it is the Greek bouzouki or the Indian bansuri flute or any other instrument he touches.
Another amazing musician is cello player Chris Django who alway surprises me with the depth of his playing. He is to be able to touch unique notes on his unique 5 string cello.
Kata van Doesselaer sings mantra songs that I and arranged and produced.
Recording medicine songs
Medicine songs hold incredible beauty and cultural value, yet many remain unheard, which led to the creation of a garden studio to record and share these hidden treasures. Artists such as Myra Tierra, Laura de Waard, and an indigenous family from the Amazon have already had their voices recorded in this space.
Music for film
Together with Avi Adir I made music for the Swiss company Holiday-feelings.com that creates one hour films of exotic places with music.
In an upcoming documentaire by Joris Buitendijk music by Atmani and Chris Django is used.
Singing circle
In the song circle we celebrate music and silence. Some of the songs we sing can be heard here. All the songs + chords are in the songbook.
