From brutal riffs to baroque melodies -Mendel bij de Leij

In this episode of Chillin’ in the Studio, we sit down with guitarist and composer Mendel bij de Leij to talk about what led him into metal, his intense years touring with Aborted, and how that experience shaped his approach to music. We dig into his career as a Cubase content creator, his orchestral solo work, his love of Bach and classical music, and his journey into movie scoring. Mendel also shares a bit about life in the Netherlands and how his surroundings influence his creativity.
