Temple is the first of a trilogy, followed by ‘Open’ and ‘The Turning Point’. After  having made a couple of electronic, processed and programmed albums I felt the urge to simply play the guitar and start from that, adding synthesizer if needed; the complete  opposite. The idea was to start analogue, guitar based, natural flowing, spontanious, pure and with a minimum of editing. Like slowly  moving from the seventies, where the sounds of Temple come from, to the present time. Not only sounds change through the three albums, also meaning and intensity. The last one, The Turning Point, is my most dense and emotional.

Temple is the electric space guitar album that I had in mind, that I wanted to hear, because at that time I didn’t know such an album. It is a relatively slow album with many electric guitar colours and experimentation. As it progresses synthesizer and drum computer find their way in the sound spectrum.

The overall feeling of the Temple is as if it has been there since the dawning of Krautrock, waiting to be found. It has a deep mysterious meaning, an unexplained depth of feeling. There are many Temples, some made by people, some formed by  nature; maybe life itself is a temple.....
