My name is Tijn Berends. I lead the exciting double life of a climate scientist slash musician. I play what's nowadays called "modern traditional folk music": instrumental tunes that are rooted in the traditional Irish dance music, but with some exciting new spices added to the sound. My instruments of choice are the harmonica and the Irish bouzouki (I'm one of the few people in the world who can play both of them at the same time - an ability I'm modestly proud of), but I've been known to dabble with the guitar, concertina, and several other instruments that have accumulated in my house.
