Things waking me up: people telling me stuff I didn't know before; walking through the foggy streets of Venezia and feeling like tiptoeing in a filmset; stories, quotes that make my fantasy run at full speed; biking through Amsterdam after a night full of friends and thinking: Yes, it is a beautiful city; waking up the first day of a holiday realizing there are yet a lot of sorrowless days to come; getting gripped by an intense song and forgetting that at the same time another 100 people are listening to the same song in Paradiso....
Anyone with passion for what they're doing: scheppende breinen, bevlogen souls.
I have to say that musictechnically I'm rather complex, but the main thing is: as long as it makes me feel...something. Lately: Jaga Jazzist, Devics, Coparck (band from A'dam!), Psapp, but also: The Cinematic Orchestra, Solo, The Veils, The Shins, Flaskkvartetten, PJ Harvey, Phoenix, The Blue Nile, Magnus, Swayzak, Autolux, Undertheiglo. God this is good: Stateless, Une, Lilian, the instant plot, Ben McGarvey, Bellman, Chasing dorotea, Flashbaxx and many others. Keep surprising me!
