About me

As a composer I am inspired by anything that catches my attention. For example experiences from the daily life as well the connection with people. Art, poetry and film are also an inspiration. Thereby I’m not easy to classify to a specific style. This causes me an enormous freedom to express myself. Something to be proud of.

‘De composities van Marlies zijn als schilderen met muziek en buitengewoon talentvol. Haar brede orientatie cq veelzijdigheid in combinatie met haar tomeloze ambitie bevestigen nogmaals haar kwaliteiten’

Piet Souer – composer and former Board Member of Buma Cultuur

Composing on request came out to be an unknown source of inspiration. I was surprised to be able to make songs from poetry without rhyme or any musical structure. It helped me to go off the beaten track. The songs I made from the poetry of Ramsey Nasr are performed by the Metropole Orchestra in Paradiso Amsterdam. Featuring Ricky Koole and Viggo Waas.

I never imagined to compose for trumpet until André Heuvelman asked me to write an album for him. This cooperation exceeded my expectations. André did not only bring my music to life but also raised it to a higher level.

‘Componiste Marlies du Mosch is in staat de complexe vormen en gedachten van Ramsey Nasr te vangen in een heldere liedvorm, ergens tussen pop en chanson. Haar melodieën liggen goed in het gehoor zonder de teksten te overheersen; vooral de meer sensitieve stukken komen daardoor erg mooi tot hun recht’

Bob Zimmerman – composer/arranger
