Douwe Eisenga

“Music that could have long-range importance” - American Record Guide
“Douwe Eisenga knows to immerse us miraculously in a timelessness that we could forever linger in” - Inactuelles
“Eisenga possesses the uncanny ability to write expressive, high-quality music capable of appealing to discerning listeners of all ages” - Textura
“The man writes the best Minimal Music you know until then and he calls it Maximal Music. Douwe Eisenga is his name. The best Minimal Music, that sounds exaggerated. Certainly. But it isn't. According to me. Eisenga conjures in his music worlds in my head where courtiers court another, where rivers burst out their banks, where mirror images suddenly reach out, where a summer breeze tickles your neck” - PZC
“Eisenga drags the listener into a musical world where dreamy melancholy and accelerating sequences alternate with a lot of excitement. Inevitable and very compelling” - Klassieke Zaken
“This composition testified of an unprecedented mysticism. The Flood of composer Douwe Eisenga can now already be labelled as of the greatest compositions of this time” - Rumanian Radi

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
