      Audiences, musicians, programmers and theatre directors have in recent years shown an increasing interest in Jacob ter Veldhuis' music. Critics and other 'connoisseurs' in particular once seemed to have trouble 'placing' this composer, but now that the lines between genres - for example, between light and serious music - have become blurred, one has a clearer insight into the realm of his work, in which various of styles and methods of expression enjoy equal status.
     In his compositions Ter Veldhuis targets the listener's emotions rather than his intellect. His rock-band past (a tree that continues to bear fruit) taught him that music must not be 'thought up', but simply 'made'. Because, he says, 'Once you start contriving music, you'll get a product that sounds contrived.' This attitude has won over not only the 'composed-music' faction, but a jazz and rock-oriented audience as well.
