Some years ago I came up with this groove, that became ‘Metal Motors’. I guess listening some decades ago to bands like Queensrÿche, Kansas, Crimson Glory, ZZ top and many more, made its way into my music. ‘Metal Motors’ is part of my solo album CELLO SOULS (May 2022). This version is featuring fantastic jazzdrummer Gert-Jan Dreessen. www.innercello.com

Chaconne Theobroma is composed and played by Stijn Kuppens - Film by David Jacobs - Dance by Laetitia Janssens www.innercello.com https://spoti.fi/3usdSqi https://www.facebook.com/innercello "Videographer David Jacobs captures for me today’s time spirit in his video language. With his background in breakdance, he was the ideal videographer for me to work with. I’m very honoured to have Laetitia Janssens dancing on my music and bringing such a special extra dimension. Having David filming her dance art, brings a third partner, since I would describe him as a dancing videographer. The spirit of the video is about joy of life, joy of dancing, being free in your mind and facing life with positive energy." (Stijn Kuppens, 24th of February 2021)

‘The Oak’ for cello solo, composed by Stijn Kuppens, is about a tree. A huge tree that stands at the border of an open space in the middle of a forest. As if it’s watching over this place. Like some people watch over the people around them. Despite being a widower, having to take care of his two young children, he always took care of the larger community of people around him. Now the oak has fallen. This is a tribute to Karel.

The Heidelberg Variations for cello solo, composed by Stijn Kuppens, is a tribute to 'printing art', with references to one of its icons 'the Heidelberg press'. Imagine one day in a printing company, starting in the morning when starting up all the machines, and finishing in the evening, when deadlines need to be met. At the same time there is a theme with variations, which explains the title 'The Heidelberg Variations', obviously referring to Bach's 'The Goldberg Variations'. The musical theme represents a Heidelberg printing press. Every variation of the theme becomes more complex and modern, alike the actual press did throughout history. The rhythmic grooves are based upon the repetitive sound of a printing press.
