bio

Graduated Master of Fine Arts in Music (majored in classical guitar). Postgraduate studies include musicology and contemporary music @ Darmstadt & IRCAM, e.g. studies with Boulez and Xenakis.  

Career... 

• Several years freelance guitarist in Europe; concert guitarist, chamber music and performed with various ensembles and orchestras, wrote articles published in periodicals / CD booklets. Teacher (music-history, guitar), at times working in music shops in different European towns. Played in a few rockbands and jazzgroups along the way, and always wrote music. 
• 20-odd years in business… going there from music / freelance was “rather” a career change. I started @ IBM back in the nineties pioneering the Internet, grew into various Management positions and then Finance, in the meantime having moved company to AT&T. Business life can really be a lot of fun, certainly when one gets to learn and develop (oneself and the business) the way I was privileged to do. Throughout I had the pleasure of working with, and learn from, so many talented and skilled colleagues. 
• And always writing music, sometimes recording it, sometimes jotting down scribbled lines on pieces of paper. As per 2020 I am little by little finishing it, publishing it - hence this website.  

Born 1961, lived / studied / worked in Sweden, Greece, France, presently in Amsterdam the Netherlands. Other activities parenting, gardening, reading, cooking. Multilingual English - Dutch - French - Swedish.
