Ton Scherpenzeel and guitarist Marcel Singor (previously known from Kayak) have reunited once more. Performing as Scherpenzeel & Singor, the duo have released their first two singles, Fourth of Nature and Reoccurring Dream via OOB Records. Ton explains: “I asked Marcel to play on this piece without any fixed idea in mind. It turned out so well that I suggested we release it together. There’s no album planned for now, but the door is certainly open for the future.” Fourth of Nature is an intense instrumental track and the title is a playful twist on the familiar phrase force of nature for good reason. Reoccurring Dream has taken the lead on this double-single release and it will certainly grab the attention of progressive rock fans.. The keyboard composition and arrangements from Scherpenzeel blended with the voice of Singor’s guitar will pull the listener into the dream. Take a moment and watch the surreal video and you will understand why. Release: June/2026.
