about

"Art such as this is so needed in our society today and this is so beautifully crafted, it literally arrests your attention, not just your ears. Frank injects such beauty in this recording that a sense of wonderment is recaptured even in those of us who may have lived a few too many years and let wonder escape unnoticed". - Donny Limbert

"Congratulations!! Its incredibly beautiful and artistic. It takes you to another world"! - Anneriet

"Please listen and consider grabbing a copy. I guarantee the musicianship and writing will fill your soul with joy, and lead you to introspection". - Glenn Hagen

"If you love music, you will love this.
Well done Frank and friends". - Sander de Jong

about

Frank van Essen Collendoorn, Netherlands

"It is extremely rare to find a top class drummer play violin so beautifully. Add to that composer, arranger and producer skills, and you can imagine that the musical result will be somewhat special. Frank van Essen is such a musician. Known for his powerful drumming & violin playing for UK band Iona and his strings for DJ Martin Garrix, he is venturing out into a whole musical world of his own". ... more
