Do listen to the deeper meaning of the words. You will take these with you.

Widar Songs
The Widar Songs paint the mechanical influences to which man is exposed, and the possibilities that man has with these influences to transform for the good.
Every song follows a day in the week (from Sunday onwards) and these are well suited for the Holy Week before Easter, because it entails contents that we will meet the strongest during this time; the forces of death and resurrection. Without any liturgy or religious direction as its background: Singer-songwriter Nicolaas Marius has developed these as a sequence in his work to cure landscapes, and therewith humans, with the Beings of Nature.

CD Songs of the Inner Temple
Music of the Inner World when two persons really meet
These songs render the soul gestures you can make when we meet one another out of different moods, which are based in the organs. The music expresses these moods, the lyrics lead you to the encounter and all it contains. The temple is opened by the adagium ‘Man remember you’, is blessed by the poem ‘Love temple’ and closed by the ‘Angel Singing’, a sung intimate duet vof Marion and Nicolaas that resounds as a promise. Let you be surprised by these poetic words and music.
Just like the Widar Songs, these are written on the rhythms and scales of our inner organ processes. These songs however lead you more to the own inner world, where in moods you can experience your own movings which are based in the organs. These give you an acces to the tender and sometimes more intense feelings which make up your soul. This forms a softer base for contemplation on the music, wherewith the poetic words can take you along to not-expected places within yourself. Let you be taken by the at times enchanting singing, specifically where the alchemic singing together of Nicolaas and Marion can exalt you.

Let yourself be taken in these meditative moods and connect yourself to these. Then experience what happens to you.
At the base of this music lies a search for years to the workings of the sounds and rhythms out of the stars and planetary spheres, which has been given form in Astrophony. From here comes this music. There arise meditative melodies for each planet, carried upon specific rhythms.

Double-CD Sound Meditations 2012
Music of the Spheres at the Winter Solstice 2012
On the 1st CD you hear the sounds and rhythms of the planets in short musical lines at the wintersolstice of 2012. On the base of the lyra that indicate the sound space, measure type and rhythm, the melodies of the different planets develop, played with different instruments. Thus arise sound meditations. These help you to attune to this important solstice that coheres with the transformation of consciousness from the head to the heart.
On the 2nd CD the melody of the planets that are connected by aspects are being played through one another, which makes you experience their interplay of forces of that moment. Thus intense music arises, which make you experience this interplay even deeper in meditation.
The planet in measure type, rhythm and melodie out of their place in the sky at the 21st of December 2012 at 1 P.M. have been transposed into music. Thus arise sound meditations of their inner forces at that moment, which was important for the overall development of mankind. See to this the book ‘Consciousness in the Heart – 2012 and the New Path’ (in translation). Listen to the separate sound lines with your inner ear (CD 1) and recognize yourself in it. Then listen to the planets that interact (CD 2), in which you can experience their play of forces. This gives you a deeper experience of that important moment, even though it lies in the past already.

Double-CD Planet, Organ and Chakra Sounds and Rhythms
Music for your Inner World
Played by Nicolaas Marius on the lyra and bongo
This music consists of improvisations on the lyra on a basic rhythm. The rhythm are composer of the measure type stemming from the planet movements as it works out in the inner organs; besides these a metric rhythm stemming from our chakras. The sounds move within the scales of that organ. These scales are the ancient Greek ones that we call church scales as being used in the Middle Ages. The last composer applying these was Beethoven, at the end of his life when he was already deaf. Apparently he then heard more from the inside.
The lyre is based on the star constellation of Aquarius. The shape of it was the base for its sound space. That gives the music a warm but solid timbre. Nicolaas Marius has developed both the lyra and the music in this way, as a part of his search in the applied astrosophy.
