  NEWS: ALBUM RELEASE ON MAY 24!


  


On october 7 2023 a recording session took place
together with the highly skilled
percussion ensembles of K.O.H. Eijsden
under the baton of Henrico Stevens,
Gertrudis St. Geertruid directed by Roel Meessen 
and my own ensemble Concordia Obbicht.
6 concert pieces were recorded.
Including 4 brand new compositions!
Check them out already:
The Sky is the Limit
EXTRA TERRA 
PANGEA TO PROXIMA
APEX

The album summarizes my style and variety
of music for percussion ensemble so far.
The 'space-triptych' First ContactCygnus X
and of course Extra Terra, my most ambitious piece so far,
was the initial inspiration for this recording.
It will be released on Spotify on may 24 and
will also be available as a limited edition on CD.
