Introductie
The name Neptune’s Barista is a pseudonym for Harm Jagerman, and that is me – the person you see in the photograph on this page.
In addition to my musical creations, I am also an independent entrepreneur. Although that is less relevant to this website. If you would like to know more about that, please visit harmjagerman.com.
Mijn werk als zelfstandig ondernemer bestaat voor een deel uit creativiteit. Mijn creativiteit zet ik sinds 2024 in voor heel andere doeleinden.
In 2024, I decided to use my creativity differently. In the past, I had been more creative. Think photography and image editing. There was a time when I worked as a (full-time) photographer. Due to health reasons, this was no longer possible as of 2020. I decided to use my creativity for other purposes. Developing websites for others, writing and giving advice whenever possible. That alone was not enough, I felt. Therefore, I started on something new: Neptune’s Barista.
In another part of my life, I was also into music, and then I was a programme maker (radio). That was a long time ago. The similarity was that I was concerned with exactly the tones as I combine them now.
About the name
Neptune’s Barista is the name I use for creating music, inspired by the planet Neptune. This name does not reference the classical deity or a coffee shop. Instead, it signifies an interest in the unknown and an appreciation for coffee.
Neptune’s Barista is more than just a name—it reflects my passion for sound, my fascination with the vast and mysterious, and my drive to explore new sonic landscapes. Whether through deep ambient textures or pulsating techno beats, I create music that invites listeners to step beyond the ordinary and into something new.
Do I make music? I prefer to describe it as combining tones. Perhaps it has everything to do with my modesty. That might also explain why I fell silent when my first album appeared on streaming services.
What I make varies from dark ambient to techno and acid. My compositions are immersive, sometimes eerie, sometimes electrifying—always pushing boundaries. I aim to craft sonic experiences that transport listeners into unfamiliar spaces, where rhythm and atmosphere merge into something deeper.
What I made can be found on several websites. Each track is an experiment exploring sound that defies convention and embraces the unexpected.
As said, I also work as a web developer. Furthermore, I also manage websites for my clients. My technical expertise complements my creative side, allowing me to build digital spaces that are both functional and engaging.
