My love for experimentation drove me to start this journey with my music ... VrijVlinder means free butterfly in Dutch . It is pronounced FriFlinder . This is my project .

My beliefs , Imagination is the making of images expressed art form and is the vehicle of prayer and other forms of wanting or wishing. Fear too is a kind of prayer, though to a different god or no god at all. Images can be visual, musical, temporal, conceptual, poetical, verbal, sexual, positional, attitudinal, emotional, etc. But all images are ultimately self images, bits and pieces of what we'd like or wouldn't like to be associated with. Everything we perceive or think about serves to enhance or diminish some aspect of how we see ourselves and, by extension, others. You can't be hurt and you can't die, but you can imagine things that can and identify with them....
I have been so fortunate to have gotten the chance to become friends and play with some fantastic people who showed me by example that the most important thing is the song . It is an entity all in itself . It is born from an idea then it takes off and one nurtures it as it grows . A good song takes us in directions we did not expect to ever go .
It lives after we are long gone....
