Maarten Regtien

Born:

Maarten Regtien (1963) is a Dutch (jazz-)pianist and (contemporary classic) composer. He started playing piano at the age of seven.

In 1975 he was introduced to the the Canadian jazz saxophonist and composer Alan Laurillard who introduced M. Regtien to improvisation.

During adolescence his musical taste started to grow towards 'anything new and unheard-of before.' This period included creating prepared piano's and tape experiments many years before he heard the music of John Cage or Brian Eno for the first time. Favorite music in the schoolgooing years was the early psychedelic music of Pink Floyd, The Beatles' White Album, free jazz, cool jazz, bebop, early Philip Glass minimal music and above all master pianists Keith Jarret and Jasper Van't Hoff.
