"I begin playing purely by feeling and allow my intuition to guide me from the first notes on the piano, naturally leading to the unfolding of a musical piece.” Improvisation, the art of conjuring something out of nothing, is Ron Adelaar’s preffered method of composition. He has been cultivating this approach since his early years, beginning with playing organ and piano in churches of his hometown, Amersfoort, at the age of 13. Ron Adelaar (1960) effortlessly translates a range of emotions into his music, drawing inspiration from his life experience, human relationships, and the wonders of nature. How he can so easily translate his feelings into music remains a mystery to Ron himself, but the melodies he weaves resonate with a universal language that transcends words These improvisations, often recorded in one go, aid the listener in meditation, relaxation and concentration. Ron Adelaar also serves as an A&R, scouting and guiding talent for the Amsterdam-based record label Andante Piano.
