From intimate living-room concerts to festivals, retreats, ceremonies and singing circles — I'd love to bring music to your gathering. Here's how it works, and answers to the questions I'm asked most.
Festivals, living-room concerts, retreats, ceremonies and singing circles. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a larger event, get in touch and we'll find the right fit.
I'm based in The Hague in the Netherlands, and I'm happy to travel across Europe.
Every event is different, so I work with a custom quote. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll get back to you.
There's no fixed schedule — just get in touch at hello@derkdegeus.com and we'll work out the details together.
Both. The line-up can scale to your event — I perform solo, or bring along friends and fellow musicians to fill out the sound.
In a singing circle, we gather to sing songs from around the world. They range from sacred mantras to sing-along songs to rainbow songs and everything in between.
In a ceremony — for example with truffles, which are legal in the Netherlands — I provide the music and ambience with a combination of live instrumentation (guitar, shamanic drums, vocals and more) and a gentle DJ set that guides participants through their journey.
Not at all. It’s for everyone, and you don’t have to "know how to sing." It’s about getting in touch with the deeper layers of your being. All that’s needed is an open mind and a willingness to allow whatever comes up.
Yes — I'd be glad to. Get in touch and we'll shape it around your group and intention.
Singing circles are for everyone. Truffle ceremonies are of course a different matter and there are contraindications to take into account — that responsibility sits with the organizer or facilitator.
Yes — you’ll find them at songtree.org, another website I created, which also includes the songs I didn’t write myself but use in events. You can also browse my own songs, with chords and printable sheets, under Music.
Usually English, with some Sanskrit and some Dutch — and sometimes other languages too. It depends on the setting.
