Music MEdicine by Martine
"Music is like angels.
It goes where we can't go"
With Music Medicine, I bring my piano music to life in various forms. I play during workshops and training sessions, and perform at lying-down concerts, a living room concert, and occasionally at funerals. Increasingly, I incorporate my music into my sessions. The healing frequencies of music can set deeper layers in motion that you were unaware of or that you perceive as stuck. This happens simply by listening. Music is a universal and ancient medicine that most people understand well.
There are indications, for example, that Stone-Henge in England was used as a music healing circle. This is due to the shape and the type of stones. People came from far and wide for healing.
The music can also be heard in various art projects. Feel free to inquire about the possibilities. Just ask about the possibilities. Below are a number of projects I have worked on.

Peace Meditation
Peace begins within yourself. Now that the subject of peace is so topical in our turbulent world, I created a peace meditation together with Mark Ligthart. I met Mark during a workshop I gave for the European Intuitive Network. For more meditations, visit www.markligthart.nl.
Music Medicine Ligconcerten
Music Medicine originated from a desire to make the world a little more beautiful with my music. To create a place where music plays and where there is time and attention to connect with each other and with yourself. A kind of New Age space around the campfire. Come lie down on a mat and immerse yourself in the healing sounds of music. It can be nourishment for your heart and soul, and allow yourself to be inspired by a touch of spirituality. I play part of the set myself, and part where my music plays and I meet you through touch.
The peaceful sounds of my music are often experienced as comforting and healing. The musical pieces are narrative and can connect you with deeper layers of yourself.
Composing
As a nine-year-old girl, I went to piano lessons for the first time. My piano teacher was a sweet and intuitive person who drove an old DAF, smoked cigarettes, and instilled in me a love for music.
As a teenager, I created small compositions and regularly altered the piano pieces of other composers. It was only about 10 years ago that I took up composing seriously, and it has become an indispensable part of my life. I enjoy sharing my music with the world in various forms.
The sheet music is available for 8.50.00 each. Most pieces are easy to play with a few years of experience on the piano.
MUSIC PROJECTS
Two Eyes So Blue
Recently, I collaborated on a film by Barbara de Baare, who created a portrait of her 100-year-old grandfather. It is a beautiful and moving film that captures the imagination. Barbara asked me to compose the music for the film, and we recorded it together while I watched it. It was the first time my music was played on the big screen. It was wonderful how silent it was in the theater when my music played during the credits. What a cool moment. It awakened something in me. A desire to create even more music for projects of value. A desire to let my music resonate with the world.

EXPERIENCES
LISA
What a special experience Martine's lying-down concert was. An hour of relaxation and enchanting melodies that fall over you like a soft blanket. A concert and a very profound meditation all in one. Highly recommended if you want to leave everything behind for a while and step into another world. I would love to come again next time!
