I am back home now in Oregon after a wonderful residency, workshop and concert in Belgium. The residency was at deFENIKS Art Center in Mortsel, Belgium, where the Walpurgis Musiektheater is located.

I took the train from the airport in Brussels to Antwerp. Locals were proud to tell me that their Centraal Station is the most beautiful train station in the world. I agree!

Globetrotting photographer Ben Sussman met me in Belgium to take all these great photographs. 

I really appreciated the experience of being in a new place, and was inspired by the people there.

The weekend after arriving I got to work and made a beer-can guitar, using a Belgian beer can. I composed a piece of music, "Garden of Bees", inspired by the view from my studio. Here is a video I created:
