Tristan Driessens is an exceptional musician that has been a major defining influence in my life. How many projects he initiated and invited me to play in, I can barely count. Starting out playing European folk music for dancers, moving to Ottoman classical music, over a more jazzy approach to oriental music, we've explored many ways together. His fine taste and musicianship have been a great learning experience for me, and his talent to connect with the great brought us to play with the greatest masters in different traditions. I remember vividly the first times I was inspired to silence, lyricism and simplicity while playing with him, a great gift indeed.

We play a Sazsemaisi he has composed in makam Isfahan, pretty much in Turkish classical tradition. Then we explore a fresh idea for music of an imaginary kingdom in the far east, with a musical culture that fits us as a glove, how convenient.
As always, headphones or decent speakers help you to a richer sonic experience, don't miss out on the beauty of the low end..
"Op de koffie" means so much as "visiting for a cup of coffee" in my mother tongue, Dutch. In 2023, I will be inviting 27 musicians to meet in Studio Galinella, this wonderful place I share with some friends. We have fun together and play some music, connecting through the most beautiful language we have.
