Martin Vansteenkiste

I got the chance to travel a lot around the world. Indefinable sensations, inspiring people, mystic landscapes, the thrill of the unknown… all this is a source of inspiration to express myself. Every image is a sound, every sound provokes an image, that’s how I experience my music and the music of others.

I invite you to listen to a few pieces of my music. Some are composed by myself, others recorded ‘on the road’, others as a result of a spontaneous meeting. All these warm and nice experiences could never have taken place without those friends, musicians who where willing to step into my musical landscapes.

Enjoy and wherever you are on this globe, let me hear of you!

The Human Thing

This song is an extract of my concert ‘ZWErVEN’ (‘Wandering’). It was recorded live at the Scharpoord Theatre in Knokke, Belgium, on May 14, 2005. The story of ZWErVEN is the story of the ‘Wandering Being’… the story of all of us.


The Human Voyage

A second extract of ZWErVEN. This song was recorded at Studio Sjors in Ghent, Belgium.


Live At Magdalena

A fragment of a concert, given in April 2006, at the Magdalena Church, in Brugge, Belgium.
Organised by Nangten Menlang Bruges.


Pelgrims Ladakh

This is really ‘music from the field’, recorded during one of my stays in Ladakh, North India. Pilgrims on their way to the monastery of Lamayuru… Many days on the road, from somewhere, to somewhere… It was so impressive to hear them singing in the natural, open theatre of the Himalayas…
