A New Season

Photo: Protaras region / Cyprus, Jan. 3rd 2025

Nice opportunity to meditate on the New Year and what we have accomplished in the past year; real new twists start with an idea, a vision. If you further fill in and visualize the ideas, you start living them : it gets energy back from the Universe, making things possible and you’re ready for your next step.

With Ambient Zone I am happy that you listen and are part of my ambient existence. The music, the musicians, the labels, the listeners, all who believe in this and support Ambient Zone and Spacemusic podcasts: none of this would have been possible without you! But you did it : you followed, posted comments, liked it, a lot ❤️ The road to more Ambient Zone content starts there.

In peace I sit here on the coast, in Cyprus. The sea always tells the truth. Something I cherish, both the sea and that truth. I recharge the battery at the beginning of this brand New Year and think about all the beautiful things we can do and make happen.

Some people hang their heads to details, to old things, to statements that do not match fresh new trends. The final Oliebollenshow echoing their brains, and what it means. Well, it means that time moves forward! Too bad not everyone sees what the truly creative nature of a show entails. Habits are not called habits for nothing. They are known as in: predictable, not necessarily creative, not after 20 yrs. In a creative and musical context new twists are essential and a source of inspiration and strength. For both the Creator ánd Listener!

So breathe in… draw in that air, absorb new ideas, feel the energy that makes everything flow in 2025. That is, in my opinion, the meaning of life and the core of the Ambient Zone. New podcasts will be coming, in familiar quality, in innovative style with a view to the future – and as space and ambient as possible!

I wish you a warm & very ambient year! Where love and our way back within can save humanity and propel it forward inimitably✨

Peace!

Sessions // Arrival in Cyprus

What I’ve been looking forward to for a long time … October 2024; join me on this special episode of the sessions podcast. From the Netherlands to Cyprus. Right through your speakers! A mix of music and a few words about the journey, the luggage, the hassle at the airport these days, the arrival in Cyprus, the beauty I see when I wake up in the morning, the sun, the vibes.

Had I actually left the island? Or was it something temporary? Destined to be there?
Since the very first landing in 2001 it has never let me go. Magical and reason for a sequel.

This episode is available in 2 formats: show format and an instrumental version without me talking over it. If you want to listen the instrumental edition, you can do so by supporting me on Ambient Zone (premium) or Patreon (level 3 ). The fantastic musical soundtrack in this episode comes from wonderful artists and is available from Bandcamp:
