Listening to your own soundtrack while enjoying a beer and watching people passing by doesn’t seem lame at all. On the contrary. Somewhere in Brussels on Anspachlaan…

Listeners – Emilio & Jose in Madrid

I’ve met Emilio and Jose this summer in Madrid. If you’re walking on Calle Gran Via you can be sure you will see them. They have their own spot across the Telefonica building.

FGE Review – Residentie Orkest

The XXth edition of the “George Enescu Festival” has ended but I didn’t get over it. Even now I listen in my car to Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony – Pathetique on repeat. And considering the fact that I cannot listen to a concert in peace and I always find the urge to take my photo camera… Read More
