Harry Kappen - The Freedom Inside I Am Refocused Radio
-
- Documentary
Harry Kappen (HK) is an independant Dutch musician and music therapist. He is an experienced musician, a multi-instrumentalist, who played in many bands in the Netherlands and as a producer he worked with a lot of Dutch popbands. Since he was young he composed hundreds of songs, for his own bands or just for fun and sometimes for events or for Dutch television.
HK is an admirer of David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Prince, Radiohead, Scandinavian pop music by Bjork, Motorpsycho and a lot more. Sometimes their music reflects in Harry's eclectic music.
HK plays, writes and produces his music by himself in his home studio.
Last year Harry released his album 'Escape' and a seperate single 'Wargames'. Both were received very well and got rave and enthusiastic reviews all over the world. HK is known for his contemplative, sometimes politically critical lyrics. 'Wargames' was received as a modern protestsong against the Ukrain war.
As a music therapist HK helps youngsters and adolescents to cope with a variety of problems in a institution for youth care; problems caused bij development disorders or/ and behaviour disorders. The fact that he is a multi-instrumentalist comes very handy in his work as music therapist; it's important to be able to connect musically with a client quite quickly on every instrument. Also he helps families who are struggeling with disfunctional paterns. Music therapy is a great way to make these paterns audible and curable.
Besides his work as music therapist he works as a lecturer on an international master's degree in music therapy in Rotterdam in the Netherlands (Codarts).
'The Freedom Inside'
Now he is releasing a new single as a preview of his new album which will be released later this year, around the summer. 'The Freedom Inside' is also critical, but has a more positive vibe. 'Don't try to change the world, but change yourself first' is the message. We all know we live in troubling times with war, climate change, indifference etc. There's a lot of complaining everywhere (social media!) and declining trust in governments. Harry says; if you want to change the world, stop nagging and whining at others and start to change yourself first and search for the freedom inside you to do so !
