About 20 years after I met Steve Lacy and studied his philosophy, I return to his musical compositions, his research, and especially his awareness, that he nurtured and never revealed his secrets. Yet one could get to know his world...

The whole appropriate the bridge between poetry, science and consciousness. The art of Deirdre De Cooremeter and Emil Nolde were an inspiration to publish thi...

Edit of most of the poetry Steve Lacy has set to music. How poetry is integrated into his life and art. How synchronicity was working out in his life and art. How life became art and art his life. How Lacy was such that more than jazz musician. He opened a new science of consciousness. How love was the strongest vector in the direction his oeuvre w...

'Life on the edge', a first encounter to integrate quantum biology in the science of art. An entanglement of movie, poetry, novel, music of different artists brought together in a set of quantum superposition. It is not this or that but different states at once.

2 chapters of an unpublished book of Johan Daisne; Recruut is about going to the army, Kakhi is about coming home from the South of France during the second world war. This is autobiographical and important for the understanding of the book ‘De Trein der Traagheid’ which we are going to present soon as a docudrama.

Selection of poetry from different periods brought together. Each period was important for that what followed. By giving the words a new order, they get a new meaning.

How I came to the idea to make a docudrama of the book of Johan Daisne 'De trein der traagheid'. How synchronicities were working out by the fusing of 2 archives. How the history of my father got involved with a fragment of the book 'Lago Maggiore' of Johan Daisne. The first part of the movie was finished in 2012, the second part will be finished...

Afkikker house was called before ‘Het Hooghuys’, it is a medieval house from the 13th century. It was connected with the famous abbey Sint-Pieters from Ghent, Belgium. The house was probably the town-hall of Sint-Pieters village. The real proof is not found yet, well I’ve found wreckage that is certainly an eight hundred years old and the pillar w...

This book is about autopoiesis, it constructed itself and now keeps itself alive via internet. I played the function of the muse, so the title means: who is paying the muse. A few years ago I got a whole bundle of poems from a professor in biology, Walter Verraes. Iforgot about it, after one year it came back into my hands. A few days after a scien...

We celebrated the centenary of Johan Daisne in the ruin of the Sint Kwintens chapel in Ghent. The acoustic is the best for violin.

Some sequences we used in our m...

A study about the book 'One night, one train' of Johan Daisne By co-incidence I brought together one page of the book 'Lago Maggiore' of Johan Daisne and a page out of the archive of my father. At the beginning of the war my father was sent with his company to France by train. Of this trip my father had a list of data and places. I got the idea tha...

On synchronicity I compared artwork and poetry of two scientist.

Manifestation by vzw Klimop in the Sint-Kwintens-chapel of Ghent around the DNA. Each visitor got one letter A,T,G or C. At random couples of letters were formed on the floor of the chapel. Also the meaning of time is an important factor, because of the many coincidences.

One of the last words Steve Lacy spoke to me was BECKETT, so I started tp read his books convinced by the idea that I should find a meaning. When I told my story over and over to the people of Afkikker/Klimop, that 'Waiting for Godot' was not about waiting but about action, about the waiting of Beckett for the public to go, only Debessay Fesehaye w...

The manifest of music, a dedication to the oeuvre of Steve Lacy with some impressions during the 2 years that I knew him.

In this manifest of music, dedicated to the music of Steve Lacy, I used many titles of his tunes. It is in short everything what I learned about him. For me he was a scientist who explained himself by means of his compositions and his soprano saxophone.

I invited Steve Lacy for the first time in 1999, we became friends. In 2001 he proposed me to do a solo concert in Afkikker. The CD called 'Mother Goose.solo@afkikker'. Mother goose is poem of Rexroth it's about 3 personalities and is also on the CD of The Beat Suite of Lacy From a professor I got a biography of Lacy and from Olivier Braet I got an...
