Using a voice sample of myself, I made a melody that reminded me of some ancient call. I created the drums, keys and other sounds using my father's old keyboard, resulting in this track that to me sounds like somebody ascending into space.
Wakki got extended by Mischa de Haan on saxophone and Sebas Joosten on percussion! With this combined force and extended musical landscape, Stijn (keys) and me continued writing music. These pieces were combined with songs that originated during jamsessions, resulting in the recording of our first full length album.

Progressive rock song about us loosing our social skills in the physical world due to our social connections becoming digital.
After meeting Laurens, Stijn and Richard and starting Wakki, I came up with a couple of musical pieces, and Stijn (keys) as well, after which everyone contributed their ideas. A rehearsal weekend resulted in the following recordings, which we decided to mix and release ourselves as our first EP 'Lunch'.
