remarks
Together with editor JP Luijsterburg, I also formed the composer duo EDBJPL, with which we composed music for Grenslanders, among others. Since then, under the score composer name EedeBee, I have released three albums featuring score music I composed for NTR Rampjaar 1672, NTR Focus Special Ocean Smoke, Swingtij, and various others.
