It’s easy to switch to electric for mobility, but for me, nothing compares to the wood and the breath of a real acoustic Oud.

In this part, I’m showing you the technical setup that allows me to stand, move, and connect with the audience without losing that authentic sound. This was a huge part of my artistic research—finding the balance between innovation and tradition.

I want to encourage every musician out there: you can innovate while staying true to your roots. Dare to stay acoustic!

What’s your take? Does electric ever truly replace the soul of an acoustic instrument? Let’s talk below! 👇

Standing up changed everything for my vocals and my stage presence. It’s about more than just posture. it’s about breath support, movement, and truly connecting with you all from the stage.

Here’s why I decided to break the traditional sitting posture and how I started this transition as part of my artistic research.
Stay tuned for Part 2 where I show the technical wireless setup!

Last Sunday at the Beauforthuis for Culture Unlimited Festival 💜

From rehearsal room to stage
Every time I perform ARISE! live, it evolves.
New energy, new connections, but always rooted in the same story.

Thank you to everyone who was there and really listened🙏

I still can’t wrap my head around this: for the past 3 months, every single hour, on the hour, my composition “466th!” has been ringing out from the top of the Dom Tower.

Over the past 90 days, hundreds of thousands of residents and travelers have heard these notes. To think that my melodies are floating over the rooftops of the city I love… it’s a dream come true.

If you’re walking through Utrecht, open your ears.
Whether you’re biking to work, grabbing a coffee along the Oudegracht, or just passing by — at the top of every hour, the city sings with me. 🕊️

If you hear it, tag me in your stories! I’d love to see where you are when the bells begin. 🏰✨
