About Me


.Hector's Mix is done by the amazing 10-D PJ check the top friends for the page with more heartwarming tunes... . . .Hector's Song, Honesty and Uneasy Set Up N 1 were all recorded live in Graz, Austria in summer 2003 . . . First gigs were under the name of .GerdaDear. The consistency of .GerdaDear. usually depended on geographical whereabouts of Maria Slovakova and the artists who feel like participating...In July 2006 Footsteps on Mars remixed Hector's Song...Also, Miguel of 10-D PJ is being involved in music making to my vocals and poetry. yes, Hector's Mix is exactly that! . . . . . .It all probably started by winning competitions of interpreting of prose and poetry...back in primary school...then later on in Amsterdam, I started writing poems and stories reading them out occasionally on Radio 100...then established a short living Moving [Lejdybe:d] co. in the countryside of Quebec, that consisted of Stephane Theoret (acting) Luc Bonin (music) Andre Bombardier (dance) and me (brushes, mime) . . . Under the name of .GerdaDear. there was a 2002 performance at Dance Space Center on Broadway in NYC put together with Matt Heyner and his double bass to start it all.Then in 2003... 4 Graz, Austria shows were concepted and performed in collaboration with Andreas on bass, Kurtl on drums and guitar, Stefan on guitars and AlecTronic in presence and technical abilities.And in the September 2003 Hotel Rhizom, also in Graz show featured Anita Morth bass, Solveig Haring on guitar and me again on vocals.Currently, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom, I am performing weekly at Click Clack Open Mic, testing old and new material in acoustic ways, recorded bunch of vocal tracks and they are already with my friends, so if you will be patient, the music will come also...Thank You for listening...Wishing You a very peaceful day... Here we are at Click Clack Open Mic in Harrogate with Dave...:), song called Just Hanging
