Contradictie VI - (excerpt from Contradictie VI) (2015) Contradictie VI is the cadenza, the central movement, of the Percussion Concerto by Robin de Raaff. Even though the Percussion Concerto calls for a multitude of Percussion instruments, the Cadenza is scored only for Marimba, utilising a unique play with colours described by De Raaff as "a color etude in contrast and mallet control".
Megumi - Until they took her away (2007) Full Motion Picture by Mirjam van Veelen
