INFORMATION
 
Music spontaneously composed originates from the presence of the spirit. This is music extempore. To achieve this, I have embraced the music of Erik Satie.  Through closely-tied and personalized improvization, I gained insights and found open windows and doors.  I looked into Satie’s music applying the rules it follows.  Every day, I interpreted its horoscope, so to speak.  What other development potential would have been “in it” for its idea?  He himself led the path.  With his “Wrong Dances,” he wrote the same piece three times: In his understanding, apparently, there is no one phrasing of a thought that remains valid through the times.  Neither in my understanding, by the way.

PRESS REVIEWS
 
"Het resultaat is deze introspectieve, visionaire cd met ondermeer diverse Gnossiennes en de Gymnopedie, die niet vervelen." Mania Klassiek - Mei 2011

"The result is this introspective and visionary CD with for example various Gnossiennes and the Gymnopedie, music that never bores the listener."  Mania Klassiek - Mei 2011


"Net als Gabriela Montero improviseert hij (Michael Gees) er daarom op los, waarbij hij werkelijk in de huid van de componist kruipt." Paul Janssen - Juli/Augustus 2011

"Like Gabriela Montero he ( Michael Gees) gets loose and improvises, and in that way he is able to crawl under the skin of the composer." Paul Janssen - Juli/Augustus 2011

"These succeeded in fanciful rambling, mainly softly-sounding piano meditations  - relaxed, enjoyable, often dreamlike intimate mood music" Ingo Harden - Fono Forum - September 2011

"Es sind ihm fantasievoll schweifende, vorwiegend im weich klingenden Piano gehaltene Meditationen gelungen - lockere, angenehme, oft traumerisch-intieme Stimmungsmusiken" Ingo HArden Fono Forum - September 2011

"Vakkundig gedaan en het zeker waard om gehoord te worden is het in ieder geval."
Robert Nemecek, Ensemble september 2011

"Skillfully done and worth listening to it is definitely"
Robert Nemecek, Ensemble September 2011

"Gekonnt und Hörenswert ist es auf jeden Fall."
Robert Nemecek, Ensemble september 2011
