New Single!
Morning Song
My newest single, Morning Song, is out now!
An attempt to capture my morning ritual in music. One of the finest, lightest moments of the day. The melody is crystal clear and full of anticipation, set to a sparse accompaniment. There was no plan for the soloing; it turned into a spontaneous collective improvisation. Written in the spring of 2025.
Morning Song was recorded with Hendrik Mueller, Jeroen Batterink, and Mo van der Does. Released by ZenneZ.
Available to listen on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms. Click on the beautiful artwork by Selma Hoitink to go to Spotify.

The Hare - Epilogue
Live recording from the release night in the Roode Bioscoop. It's an original piece featuring Mo van der Does on alto, Matthias van den Brande on tenor, Hendrik Mueller on bass and Ruud Voesten on drums. The Bioscoop was absolutely packed with friends, family and music lovers and it's a night remember very fondly.
