Need Someone's Hand (2016)

As a stark contrast to my earlier pieces this collaboration with Gerleen Balstra takes a Dusky turn. Also featured as one of the earliest works on the compilation album "Dusk" Need Someone's Hand is truly something special. Gerleen really works in special ways with her students to teach but also to create some magnificent work. This piece is a testament to that, also having pushed me into uncharted territory when it comes to instrumentation, rhythm and harmony it has become one of my most beloved works. Not in technical soundness but in sheer creativity and emotional connection. Sophie and Celine deliver the cherry on top with some heart felt vocals as pro- and epilogue.
