Lament feat. Témé Tan (3:50)
In the first moments of any project I like to experiment and try things out, and this is where
Lament finds its origin. The soulful, heartbreaking improvisation from Belgian singer
Témé Tan touched me so much that I couldn’t shake loose from it. Though it was initially written for another project, where it didn’t end up being used, I kept it in a special place and now I’m sharing it on this album.
The Journey (3:26)
This track is about the last journey we will make. It’s a reflection on surrender and acceptance, but also about how fortunate we are to be born on this planet and to get to know our parents.
What a gift it is to be alive, to feel, to love.

film & TV music
David Oyelowo says, “Music and sound in film has always been important to me, which is why I consider myself lucky to have met composer Peter Baert when I did…While in post-production on The Water Man, I was working with another composer and had initially cut Peter’s music in as an experiment, and it all just worked perfectly. Within a week, he flew over, sat next to me in the edit, and that's how he became my composer…he totally nailed the tone.”
electronic music
In most of my earlier work, I started making music from vocal material, working with recordings of friends reading random magazine articles, mouth noises, stretched vocals, vocal performances and so on... tracks like "Morphine" , "Neilla Deum" or "Dreampole" are completely made with vocal material, like the mouth noises of Chantal Pattyn.
