Bird of Paradise 1997
"Bird of Paradise" refers to a beautiful and colourful fairyland, to which one can escape from the dreary and drab daily grind. The world of Bird of Paradise abounds with refreshments. A fountain sprays up high towards heaven. Looking through its water one can see all the lovely colours of the rainbow. And it feels like you unexpectedly get wings and are able to fly up towards God. And a voice says: 'Fly high, Bird of Paradise, higher still, and show everyone your wonderful brilliancy of colours. The song of Bird of Paradise is of utmost sweetness. Light, water, colours: the ingredients of which one can build utopia. Even after sunset, when evening falls, the night isn't frighteningly dark and pitch-black but soft like velvet and still radiating the warmth of daytime, like in the painting of Van Gogh. A velvet night during which one experiences love and tenderness. Man changes again into Playful Man. He knows himself young again, even a child again. In these series of compositions the merry world of Bird of Paradise opens up; a world without pain and sorrow. Even saying goodbye isn't painful and agonizing, but merely tells of the fulfillment of life. 17 compositions, total duration 53 min.
