Dutch composer (Born 1939, Utrecht, Netherlands). I've been getting into his music lately and thought some of you might enjoy his art. He takes the minimalists approach to composition (vaguely) and injects some serious testosterone in it, maybe even add a 1/2 TBS of PCP or bath salts. When I first heard "De Staat" I had a big grin on nearly the entire time because there are bits in it that we as prog lovers have grown to love and appreciate - you'll know what I mean when you hear it - I won't spoil all of the fun. But I will say that if you lean towards the dark spectrum of prog such as Magma, Crimson, Present, UZ, Blast, Shub Niggurath, etc, you might get a kick out of this piece. "De Staat" was written in 1972 - 1976, btw.
