About Me

Profile Edited by CoolerCode.com MySpace Editor
Hey, my name is Lieven. I was born into quite a creative family, my mother teaches painting, and my father plays some mean jazzguitar. My own musical developement started rather late, although I listened to a lot of Mozart while I was in the belly of my mother, Mozart and Pat Metheny were I believe the 2 musicians I listened most 2 in the early years of my life, back then that wasn't of my own choice because it was my father who always put those records on, but now I've grown to love their music and it has become of great influence to mine. At first at secundary school I studied drawing and painting and then switched to acting and dancing at the kunsthumaniora in brussels. I went to boarding school there, and there was a piano in my room. In no time I was hooked on playing piano.
I studied at the royal conservatory and other places, my pianoteachers where Jef Neve, Charles Loos, Christophe ErbtÃ¼sser and Erik Vermeulen. I also followed workshops and masterclasses with people like: Reggie Washington, Fred Hersch trio, Chris Joris, Mark Levine, Nathalie Loriers, Pierre Vaiana, ... Yes I did, and it was a lot of fun you bitch! But I don't realy think of myself as much as a musician as well as a writer or poÃ«t. In the first place I'm an improviser. (in the second place an actor, but shhh... it's getting complicated) I'm working on something for the moment, a kind of play, I'll work on it for as long as I live and when it's finished, it will define love :), and NO! I'M NOT CRAZY! I'M NOT CRAZY I TELL YOU! NO! stop it! I'M NOT CRAZY! NO! stop it! I'M NOT! WILL YOU PLEASE STOP IT?!!! I'M NOT CRAZY! ask Roberto Begnini! HE'S CRAZY! not me! I ONLY MADE LOVE 2 A PUMPKIN ONCE! I don't even have a sheep!
For the moment I'm studying at herman teirlinck.
Here's a poÃ«m I once wrote.
soms wou ik dat ik schilder was
kon ik de eindeloze pracht van een volmaakt beeld
voor altijd vastleggen op een doek
soms wou ik dat ik mime kon
was verbeelden mijn beroep
woordeloos stelde ik de woorden voor
die ik niet hoor, slechts voel
soms wou ik dat ik beeld kon houwen
vormde ik uit een steen
de zuiverste pure liefde
zodat die nooit verdween
altijd wil ik dichter zijn
dichter bij mezelf
dichter bij u
