The Belgian composer Wim Mertens (born 1953) is an international recording and performing artist who has given countless concerts, as a soloist and with his ensemble, all over Europe, North and Central America, Japan, Thailand and in Russia. His early landmark albums are Vergessen (1982) and 'Struggle for Pleasure', including 'Close Cover', still one of his classics. Mertens has composed pieces in different formats, from short, accessible songs or Lieder to magnanimous and complex three- and four-part cycles, and for different settings: from solo piano to chamber music ensembles and symphony orchestra. Since his recording debut in 1980, titled 'For Amusement Only', an electronic composition for pinball machines, Wim Mertens has released more than 70 albums.
