THE BAND "Intentions consists of five musicians all coming from Groningen, a city in the north of Holland. The music can best be described as a mixture of melodic and progressive rock. Heartfelt lyrics about passion, despair, love and loneliness are the foundation for their often intricate compositions that can be intimate and fragile and at the same time solid as a rock. The band has developed a recognizable own sound with melodic keyboards, overwhelming guitar solos, and lyrics that all combine into music with an intensity that is rare."

Several auditions followed to find a drummer and singer, but somehow they didn't find the missing links to complete the puzzle. However, great progress in writing and arranging songs was made during the years 2003-2005 with various singers and drummers. The quality of the songs convinced the three musicians to start recording, confident that in due time the right singer and drummer would come along. Luckily, an excellent drummer and friend of Sanne, Theo van der Zee, was willing to play all drums on the album. Contacts were made with Pieter Tijtsma in 2005. He owns a professional homestudio and at the end of that year the first recordings took place there. Finally, a singer was found at the end of 2006: Roelof Beeftink. After a few meetings and sessions he turned out to be a perfect match. And their was more good news: Roelof asked Petrick Glasbergen, the drummer of his former band, to join Intentions. With his sense of songwriting and experience he turned out to be yet another excellent match. In mid 2008, the CD recordings were completed and the mixing, mastering and manufacturing of the CD started. When this was completed in May 2009, the CD presentation took finally place. It was a great success! The audience was very enthusiastic and a lot of CDs have been sold that night. After this long period of recording, mixing and mastering, Intentions is now entering a new era of colourful, intense and atmospheric live performances of their debut album 'Place In Time', complemented with songs for their follow-up album.
