Sonic Journal 001

By Sonic Journal

I have been thinking about this series for a while. Now, it is time to get it started. As the title suggests, this is a journal of my musical experiments. A free flow of ideas, recorded as they happen, and feel, in the moment of their emergence. Hope you enjoy!

I will make this series available on streaming platforms, as volumes of 10 songs. Until then, I’m doing this DIY exploration, saving time for the creation of more pieces.

Nature Observations – Untitled

By Drawings

I have been reading a lot, lately. Books about: spirituality, philosophy, poetry,… One of the common theme is the connection with nature. While reading all of this inspirational content, I have been sketching a lot very minimalistic organic shapes. Intentionally reducing the busyness while looking at the details, of the surrounding elements.

I feel that I will be sharing more of those.

Widdo

By Some "Type" of Fun

As part of my practice, I often create custom typefaces (lettering) for my clients. This one is an ongoing project. I am building a full font set. As, you can see below, it is quite geometrical. Every letter fits within the same space, in both width and height.

(WIP) To be continued…

In a Box

By Drawings, Some "Type" of Fun

As creatives, we have to be careful not to get trapped in a box.

We have to option to choose between blending in or standing out. The option to follow the trends or go agains’t them. The option to listen to all opinions or to ignore them. Of course, there is an in between to all of these options but, this can be a serious challenge. No matter what, in the end, we have the option to choose between fitting in a box,… or not.

Let’s be creative and embrace our uniqueness.

Water

By Some "Type" of Fun

I’ve been sketching and drawing a lot lately. All sorts of lettering and doodles. “Water” should probably be represented in a fluid way but… I like this imaginative variation. Playing with word association. Forcing myself to question it from the very start.

Trust Me!

By Drawings

Doodling. Another fun activity to keep the creative flow rolling. Done with no intention. I take a piece of paper (or the iPad) and draw an imaginary character. The less I know what I want to do upfront, the more fun I have. I see it as improvising with a pen.

Here’s an example.
