about

in my mind I started composing this album in 2018, the first time I visited Oostende and took some of these pictures. then I made Organic Leisure, inspired by that visit to Belgium, but I always had the feeling that I had to devote another album to the coastal city and the emotions it moved in me. also I had to use a couple of opposing pictures I shot during the renovations at a royal promenade, which for some reason I really loved.

now, 5 years later, I'm about to travel there again. my music style has slightly shifted, and the time has come for this album to see the light. its inception stems possibly from a very private, personal space, but I hope it will induce some pleasurable shivering in the listener as well, as if contemplating the untamable and fascinating North Sea on a winter day.
