| - | //About 10 years ago, I had a Folk Dance Band called ‘Anveld’, which was a ‘youth project’ of mine. We had a lot of concerts and played at a lot of folk festivals, but we always tried to add a certain something different to our compositions. For example the instruments we used: saxophones, violin, Cello, Bagpipes, flutes, guitar, bass guitar, drums and Piano. Especially the cello and the piano were quite unusual in the folk tradition at that time. | + | //About 10 years ago, I had a Folk Dance Band called ‘Anveld’, which was a ‘youth project’ of mine.

| + | //Mazulma is a composition in which the A-part is entirely composed by Eddy Vanacker and the B-part entirely by myself. So literally a 50/50 compositional cooperation. Mazulma appeared on our full cd ‘Anveld; which isn’t available anymore. At the recording Seraphine Stragier is playing the cello, I’m playing the keyboard. A year after the release of our cd, the members of Anveld decided to stop the group.// | ||

| + | //Right now, 10 years later,// (2017) //I started a new folk band with two of the former Anveld members. We’re very excited about this new ‘more adult’ project! We only have 4 musicians, but together we play these instruments; keyboards, saxophones, singing, violin, bagpipes, flutes, guitar, bass guitar and especially: lots of electronics and beats. We’re a really fresh new group, so we’re still preparing our new material and waiting for the first concerts to come.// | ||

We always rehearsed at Sunday mornings at Serpahine her parents place in LEDEGEM (Belgium), so we knew the dog very well :-) The composition Mazulma is a combination of the word ZULMA (the dog) and MAZURKA (the dance). So it was initially meant to be a dancable Mazurka. // |
