Hi there!

[Boqurant]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Marcel. I'm from the Netherlands (also known as Holland). I create music since the early eighties (i was around 20 years old) and I mostly make music solo (electronic & guitar). I also played in a few post punk bands in the late eighties. After a long pause, I started making music again late 2014 and posted my ambient music online for the first time May 2015.

Most important influence: Brian Eno but I don't live in the past so I think there are countless other artists who are (almost) as important as grandaddy Eno ;)

I hope to get inspired by you guys (and girls) and your music and maybe we can exchange some ideas, information, etc.

My artist name is Boqurant: https://soundcloud.com/boqurant

Enjoy your stay here.

James.

Hi there,

Name checking Eno, Biosphere and Stars of the Lid does it for me, welcome aboard!

You have some really nice pieces up on Soundcloud, particularly like the guitar tracks (Silver Birch etc)

Hi James,

Thanks for the warm welcome. Listening to your tracks right now and I already like your work.
BTW: I'm Dutch but I had never heard of a "Dutch Oven". Learned something new today :-)

cheers,
Marcel

I lived in Assen for 4 months before moving northwards to Zuidlaren for 30 months. I've forgotten a lot of the language, but Google is my friend

welcome!

I lived in a community in WA where they had a sizable population of the descendants of Dutch immigrants. The saying at the yearly festival was "If you're not Dutch, you ain't much". Friendlier than it sounds, actually.

This is why I joined the forum! Your music is really good, and I like the variety of styles and mood that goes throughout your work. "The Old Barn and the Cricket" is especially beautiful.
