New Album 'Rationality' out now! (2006)

"Knowledge speaks, Wisdom listens" The musical history of my life started in the reggae band So What!. Many numbers we've played were covers of pop songs wich we transformed into reggae style. The most succesfull songs were: Fire from the Pointer Sisters and Losing my religion from R.E.M. (1986 - 1987) The Unknown I had the urgent need to create my own songs instead of endlessly playing existing works and left the band before I had a nervous breakdown. Then 'a friend for life' came along with the same need and a bass guitar. Robin and I started to write songs and lyrics and before we knew it we were performing them in the rock formation The Unknown. After ten nervous breakdowns a week we decided to break up after a few years. These were probably the best years of my live. (1989 - 1993) Tbone & the wizzard of Ozz Another friend and excellent musician/songwriter is Jeroen. The music and lyrics were so beautiful that you cannot listen to them without getting emotional. We were real close and he was so natural born for music that I wish that I could go back into time and never come back no more.. I only have tapes left from our songs and the quality is poor. But DO download them because the songs are MAGNIFICENT. www.nephilim.nl (Shop/Downloads_From the old shoebox). Own studio After doing a couple of auditions in ex(orc)isting bands I started to build my own studio, because a studio does not argue about how, when or why I should or should'nt do this or that. That is a great relief, I now have only 20 nervous breakdowns a day!!! Then I ran into the producer/songwriter Lesly Laverman. This man expanded my vision in songwriting, arranging and producing. He is my best friend and I am his annoying questionmark!#@? If there is anyone in my life that I LOVE to work with, then he is the one. During this period I co-produced the boysband WHAT NEXT! The executive was the highly talented and dedicated Milene. We realy came a long way and never unrewarded. I'm sure we'll write together again someday maybe soon. And of course, I love you too. Never Again! Then Robin (The Unknown) called to tell me about this rockband 'Never Again!'. I was soon introduced to the Boyz and we recorded 7 songs in one weekend in a studio in Kampen/the Netherlands. Unlimited breakdowns of course, but heee, The results were great! Dominion_3 This CD is the result of the co�peration between Leslie and me. The album contains relaxing music for later in the evening. You are able to download songs from this album in the shop/downloads page @ www.nephilim.nl Rear view mirror Our new electronic album featuring music with diverse musicians and technicians i have collaborated with recently is Sold Out! Please checkout the Remixes on Rationality. Award winning tracks Attitude X and Chants Resonique are included. Somewhere in the creation process i was very lucky to have crossed the tunes of keyboard wizard Scott Hill from the UK. We started to compose together, using originality & experimentation as our guidelines. The files swirled over the internet as well as the styles in our music. We have done 4 albums by now and the fifth is underway!!

Life is always changing, Be like water, my friend...'
