At home with Arjen Lucassen from Ayreon

Музыка

This video portrait about the Dutch composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Arjen Anthony Lucassen (1960) was shot in and around his home in the Netherlands. Lucassen speaks freely about his love for science fiction and running, his music obsession (and the accompanying rituals and routines), and the depression that deprived him of his desire to make new music.

    Such an inspiring guy. I have a fairly vast array of other influences but I love his mentality when it comes to music, and how he's well connected with people but shuts himself off from the nonsense of the world.

    You are a great man, Mr. Lucassen... much greater then I imagined. So is your music. I'm a nerd too. And a social recluse, a very shy one) 4:38 - lying on the floor with closed eyes, listening to music... Believe it or not, that's how I listen to your music Arjen (with closed eyes and undisturbed)! :) Glad to hear you overcame your depression. Looking forward for many more projects to come. All in all, thanks for the video, very informative! Also I loved Blade Runner showing all the way through!

    You mean all of his albums. I mean pretty much every album aside from The Theory of Everything fits into one story line. Heck, The Human Equation fits into a past life of the man in The Universal Migrator

    Theory of Everything could fit in the whole story line if you consider that through the drugs, Forever sends visions to the Prodigy, but I still can't find a link between the whole storyline and Actual Fantasy.

    Amazing person and artist. Discovered him through Tommy Karevick as the Prodigy, and I loved the instrumental also "Tommy". Arjen it's a true inspiration and let us see what really makes u an artist, "real life" . Live long and prosper Arjen. P.S. if you read this I wonder if you like Orson Scott Card :D ?

    I love Star trek but I have to admit I love Babylon 5 more due to there being more of a human feel.. I think you would do an amazing show around Babylon 5 the Telepaths Vorlons Shadows Minbari there is so much to play with..You have such amazing creativity As soon as I saw Aryeon Universe I had to buy it amazing Even though I am a Nightwish fan I see you and Tuomas Holopinen as two of the greatest composers of our time..Keep straight and narrow remember the path goes left and right but always go forward there is no reason to go backwards..Wish I had the temperament to play an instrument but my mind is always multi tasking..And there is so much inspiration in the ether..Look forward to your creativity in the future..

    That's what happens when you don't born in a tropical shithole mess of a place and when you are not raised by psychopaths who thrive on manipulation and control. Then, you have a taste of what it feels to incarnate in this planet as a human, not as an animal. I often ask myself what have I done to go through this and where could I flee to, Netherlands maybe? In recent times it seems like there's no place to flee anymore, the mess has spread all over, the bacteria was not cleaned and spread itself. The ones who got it, got it. The ones who didn't, will never do.
