The importance of likes and follows

The cursor was hovering over quietly the Like button. It was a quiet and sunny Sunday afternoon, with a few airplanes playing the background noise, and the echo of a few business meetings the internal monologue. You kept arguing with colleagues who long logged off, about statements they never...

The Nutcracker (2014)

When we were children, and that was on the Eastern side of the iron curtain in the 1980s, every now and then we would get a bag of pistachios, which was a very rare delicacy. You know how children are, especially with things they feel to be more precious than stuff that is easy to come by, they...

This is our geography

9 songs, 8 cities, 7 musicians. Listen to the album I guess we are looking for our identity through our whole lives. Moving countries, choosing another home can both mess things up or help. These nine songs I released today are trying to discover where I stand, where you stand, where...

Music + Business – Willem Mutsaerts

Being both a professional musician and a procurement professional the interaction between the two worlds, for me, is quite obvious. For those, however, who are only involved in one or the other, this may not be so clear. I have decided to have conversations with people working in a corporate...

Nostalgia

Time by nature goes ahead. And it can be debated whether it makes sense to celebrate turning points in it mostly created by men or not. However, next year is the 15th anniversary of two very important songs in my life, both recorded with The Unbending Trees, and one of them a duet with the...
