Notes

"Two Ways" started out as my first music cassette. Because of the great demand, it now also appears as a CD.

The initial impetus for this album came from Mr. Wayne Rucker in 1993, while I was studying in Boston, USA. After he heard me playing at a meeting of the American Harp Society, he immediately offered me financial support to be able to produce this solo album.

That offer provided a good opportunity for me to learn all about the essential work necessary to produce an album and get to know an important part of the music business. That's how my first production materialised in the summer of 1993, in Arlington, near Boston.

Because most of the pieces in this collection were not composed for harp originally, I felt a particular challenge in transcribing and arranging them for the harp. Two examples being "Song of my father" by Horace Silver and "God bless the child" by Billy Holiday, both with which I won an award at a jazz harp competition in Orlando, Florida.

At this time I began writing my own music too. My first composition was awarded a prize at another international competition in the USA. This piece, along with others of mine, appear on the album "Another World", also available on CD.
