I never lie

For drums and fixed media
Performed on May 25th, 2024 in Codarts (Rotterdam).

This is an invitation to take your dreams extremely serious,
to be honest (at least) with yourself,
to make scary choices for the sake of your soul.

It's all about authenticity.

I never lie.

Unless.

This is indeed the first of my lies.
