About Me

Basics: There are three things that dictate my daily life. MUSIC, essential for my well being. Making, listening, absorbing, inhaling... TIME, I always have a time schedule and a lot to worry about, hate wasting time. LOVE, real power is all about 'heart'. You can only love what you understand and I hate to see it when people stop trying to understand.Who I'd like to meet: When I'm sober: * George W Bush: dying to know whether he thinks he knows what he is/was doing ----- In process of getting drunk: * Brian Molko: to talk about sound and gear and hair shampoo * Gavin Rossdale: to create some walls of sound together. * Eddie Vedder: just to sing along together while drinking. ----- Just before I pass out: * The pope: dying to know whether he thinks he knows what he's doing. * Jesus: to tell him that he forgot to divide 'his love' equally amongst his sheep..History in music: I've used and abused music ever since I was seven. It seems to help me to maintain a more or less healthy state of mind. I've played the clarinet, alt sax and -very briefly- drums before discovering my love for guitar(s) at the age of 15. I almost instantly sang while playing, probably to make those simple chords sound less boring. I started out playing yearly concerts in brass bands.Music today: Today it's rock or (power)pop with some emo/indie/punk influences that I like most. I play in the Belgian rockband STAIRCASE, a band I founded in 1999 together with two of my best friends (check www.staircase.be or www.myspace.com/staircaseweb). Our second full album will be released, hopefully, in 2008. Somewhere in 2006, in addition to STAIRCASE, I started a two-piece garageband called THE BROJECT together with my brother Matti (drums). We play whatever we like. We're working on some first demo material. The songs that I write on my own and that are not confiscated by neither STAIRCASE or THE BROJECT will one day be available for .. whatever..If you'll excuse me now, I'm trying to make some progress here.Have a nice day!7 I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
