This is a recording of Silver Droplets to reflect how the song was when played live, as discussed here. Although the sound is different. This is a Marshall amp emulation from the POD X3 Live recorded in Ableton Live. The actual performance was my real Marshall and the Digitech Jamman Looper pedal (which can not do direct sound-on-sound after the first recording starts looping).

But this version reflects the mood and feel of the way it was performed.

An electronic playfull theme. Added some basic beats and beefed up the whole of the sound a bit.

Two irish traditionals: "Napoleon crossing the Alps" going directly into "The Pullet". Again, from our final rehearsal.

Our version of Concerning Hobbits, by Howard Shore, from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. This is a recording from our rehearsal.

Originally from Willem Vermandere, from the "Omzwervingen" album.

When playing with the new Ableton 8, I tried to boost the sound of a previous recording of "lasuur". Now it includes an EQ setting for Acoustic guitar, a multi-band compression and a limiter to boost the level closer to the maximum.

Some dynamics got lost, but overall it sounds much fuller and louder. This might be suitable for MP3s, which are often listened to with headphones and background noise.

A recording during an improvisation, together with Jan. I was recording my new Marshall for the first time and it took a while to get the best connection. I think I found a better connection afterwards: the amp has an emulated Cabinet (4x12") output, which I can connect using an XLR cable and a plug to a Jack-connection into my audio interface.

The lyrics were already written and during a break at noon I recorded them. I used my Sure SM58 (for which I have reasonable hints that it's a fake).

Somewhere between rock and pop. It starts quite (= "stil") and grows during the song. It becomes rougher when the drums kick in. The lyrics suggest but don't explain what really happens/happened.

Dutch song about love and marriage. The kind of song my wife asked me to write. I'm not that good in happy and positive songs, but this one is OK. It probably needs a less mellow arrangement, though, to improve.

Playing with the Operator synth in Live. Very simple song, with a voice-like melody and a drumloop. Pils = beer.
