My name is Johan Peter Jordan Beun, which immediately explains the name of my dream project:\u00a0Peter Jordans Factory<\/em>. Both names refer to my respective grandfathers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I was born and raised in Ghent, Belgium and my musical career started in the early 80\u2019s with pop band\u00a0Les Charmeurs<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which in 1990 reached the semi-final of the Humo\u2019s Rock Ralley. Soon after we partook in the musical project \u2018De Zes van Gent\u2019 with 5 other local bands. Later I played in some cover bands, but I mainly play bands with original music.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In 2018, we presented our first project: \u201cWe All Love Birdy<\/a>\u201d<\/em>. And we breed on other beautiful things. If the wind and the stars are right, it may fly. Into the wide world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

WHY PETER JORDANS FACTORY?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s always been my dream to create a cultural blend of different musicians and artists enabling them to influence each other. A type of factory where different styles of music can be \u2018produced\u2019 and taking other art forms into the mix.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The background picture of the home page reminds me of the local plant of steel giant Arcelor Mittal in Zelzate. For a short period I worked for this global company, located in the Seaport of Ghent. I find the forging and melting of steel a beautiful metaphor for this project. A factory is also a culture form in itself, the rhythm and sounds can transport you into a trance.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Peter Jordans Factory doesn\u2019t have fixed band members: as the central figure, I research the best participants for each project. Once chosen however, all participants work in equal measures on that particular project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
