I am excited to announce the formation of my new trio. With the addition of a bass player and a second guitarist, I am excited to explore new depths in my sound and push the boundaries of my music.
While I'm working on this new project, I am also continuing to write and record for my upcoming EP. I've been working hard to create a diverse range of genres and styles, including country, blues, grunge and progressive rock.
I can't wait for you to hear what I've been working on.
I hope you'll stay tuned for updates on my new trio and EP, and I hope to see you at a live show soon.

Black cat ! Squashed flat, pretty gory
Came to play ! Swept away, no big story
Recorded a few takes today at the home studio. I’m thinking of doing a live streaming concert. Would you be interested in that?

The first album I ever recorded was already 11 years ago. It’s not available on the internet. If you happened to get one of those back in the day, it’ll be worth a fortune in the future!

Reflected light to another's sight
And the moon tells a lover's story
- Neil Peart
I just finished another recording session. I went in with an idea, made a 5:30 track & cut it down to 3:30. Changing and rearranging parts. Tomorrow I’ll be recording vocals.

we came. we saw. we kicked its ass.
Homestudio update has been finished today. Looking forward to make a few recordings over the next 2-4 weeks, picking out what’s the best & then getting it properly recorded.
So far, it looks very much like there’s an EP coming out of this process.
The music itself will be an interesting mix between country, blues, rock, alternative and grunge.

DAY #4 of RECORDING
Today was officially the last Christmas Day. At least for me. No excuses, back to recording.
I did in fact recorded a demo which I sent to Mr. record of tides. Often it’s better to have a second opinion from someone else.

Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy the holiday !

DAY #3 of RECORDING!
Spent most of the time today to program drums for the second song. How hard can it be? Well here’s the answer: it’s damn hard to program drums. 4 hours programming = 25% of what I want it to sound like.
And here’s a behind the scenes photo. That MIDI-Keyboard got abused with notes. I’m not classical trained…, so everything I play is played with feeling, even the solos. Recording until I find the right notes. That’s the usual way. Takes much more time but gives me freedom to try out a lot.

DAY #2 of RECORDING (done!)
The first song was recorded in just about 12 hours. The demo sounded way different than what I came up with today regarding the song. But that’s what happens… always stay inspired, always re-write songs…. Until they’re like REALLY recorded. once they’re recorded, you’re legally not allowed to change them. It’s just the way it is…
P.s. DAY #1 of RECORDING took place yesterday. What I did yesterday? Listened to the album BEAT CAFE by Donovan. Great Jazzy record! Needed some inspiration. Listen to the first song here, you won’t regret it. #PayMeDonovan

There’s always a second plan if my record fails. Becoming a black/white picture model.
And in other news: first chords have been recorded.…

Which song would you like to hear? Only if you had to judge by the title of the song?
I'm looking forward to start recording my new songs next week. In the past 12 months I have written and composed some songs. (partial list below) Now it's time to sort out. Which songs are good and which songs are less suitable for a recording.
This is a wonderful, but at the same time a painful process. A lot of work and time has been invested in every song and I have learned to appreciate every song. Or simply partially ignored when better songs have been created.
Of course, more songs will be recorded than released. So later on I personally have a collection of great recordings that will remain the ultimate hidden tracks section.

Writing, writing, writing. pre-production.
Recording will begin next week.
