Job Roggeveen - Gliese

Two years ago, Job Roggeveen knew only one thing for sure: everything had to change. Because answers don't always seem to be at home, he travelled to an old monastery in Northern France. Here he found an old piano and the new direction for his music. It's different than before. Not like his project Happy Camper anymore. Without guest singers and a big production. It had to be done alone, on the piano. And in France. The pieces he started writing there were light and sad at the same time. He looked for melodies that stick in your memory, but always with a melancholic undertone. He spent a lot of time on the sound of that piano, which should never sound too loud and too bright. When he got home, he sometimes called on the help of violinist Ben Mathot, who could magnify the melancholy with his playing. But most of the work on Gliese is: the piano and Job Roggeveen.
