De Morgen

As a music enthusiast, I listen to different forms of music. Once, I listened to Gustaf Mahler and techno music on the same day. Both music styles invoked similar emotions and feelings in me. So I wondered if musicians, music producers, and composers had similar experiences. This gave birth to the ‘Wat is muziek (What is music?)’ project in the Belgian newspaper De Morgen. In collaboration with journalist Tim Van der Mensbrugghe, we interview several Belgian musicians from all genres of music and asked them what music meant to them. I made the portraits of the musicians and linked them to their personal stories. The articles are published biweekly in De Morgen
