An unfinished, incomplete and fragmented exploration through a series of intimate experiences. An ode to memories, courage and forgiveness.
A concert I will never forget.
The latest album "Nature’s Largess" by Wim Mertens, which includes this newly arranged composition of "Close Cover", presents the live première of the last part "Dust of Truths" at BOZAR in Brussels, 21.10.2016.

- About "Wim Mertens"
"This Belgian composer is not well-known among U.S. audiences, although he has made several highly regarded appearances at the New Music America festivals. In Spain, however, where he was the subject of a major television special, he is a new-music celebrity. Mertens' style employs mesmerizing minimalist techniques with a sense of the romantic that appeals to both serious music aficionados and more mainstream listeners. The keyboardist uses a certain amount of electronics along with some acoustic instruments like violin, flute, and saxophone." - Linda Kohanov
