I am thrilled to present to you the captivating journey of 'When Paths Meet,' a mesmerizing album recorded live during the enchanting Holland Festival. This musical odyssey offers a unique experience, unveiling never-before-heard compositions that reflect the pinnacle of my artistic evolution.

Within this sonic tapestry, you will encounter an array of instruments and voices from diverse corners of the world, spanning from the mystical lands of China to the passionate heart of Spain. Collaborating with acclaimed European choral ensemble, this album weaves intricate threads of Middle Eastern modal systems, the rhythmic allure of flamenco, and the soul-stirring melodies of Andalusia into its rich fabric. At times, it even delves into the ethereal world of early Western choral music.

Among the highlights of this musical voyage, 'Veritas' emerges as a profound revelation, opening with evocative Central Asian tones and ethereal vocalizations that transport you to a primordial realm. It then shifts in mood to embrace the fiery majesty of creation. Another masterpiece, 'Karitas,' beautifully channels the pure love that permeates every note and word, resonating with the essence of the traditions showcased here. Meanwhile, 'ONE' embarks on a sonic pilgrimage from Western Europe to the enchanting realms of Andalusia and North Africa. Along the way, it engages with the mesmerizing sounds of the ney, violin, qanun, santoor, and percussion, culminating in a dramatic and euphoric crescendo.

'When Paths Meet' serves as a profound exploration of our interconnectedness through the medium of music. Its purpose is to awaken a profound recognition, an awareness of the self in the other. The lyrics, drawn from mystical writings of luminaries spanning centuries and cultures—Germany, Turkey, and Arabia—invite you to embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery.

This album was a labor of love and a joyous collaboration with the exceptional vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam, the remarkably talented
