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.
Inspired by painting the windows of my house during the recent holidays, I wrote a new song. It is mostly in 7/4, but there is a middle section in 4/4. I use Ableton 6, which does not support changing time signatures, so I had to make sure that the third sections started correctly. I think it worked out fine.I'm currently inventing all kinds of songs in my head, using non-standard time signatures. I have to practice, though, to ensure I play them correct.
Acoustic dutch song about sadness, lack of power, frustration and a trauma from the past.
A dutch song about having a first child and what it can do to you as a person and to your relation. It is meant to be positive and giving hope."Kleine Man" = little man = a child/boy
A silent and subtle song about praying, memories, silence, research, devotion...
For the baptism of my youngest son, I will play together with my father. We are still choosing which pieces to perform, but it will be on guitar and flute.
I forgot the correct names of the last pieces...
On may 26th, we played our arrangement of "Concerning Hobbits", during the wedding ceremony of my sister in law.
It was not perfect, but everyone was so delighted to hear it. We surely made a good impression.
I've also played the Harry Sacksioni arrangement of "Here Comes the Sun" from George Harrison and got good comments about it (although I did play some slight errors).
You can hear a recording of our rehearsal.
The result of our final rehearsal, before we were going to play live, during the wedding ceremony of my sister-in-law.Recorded with my new microphone using Ableton Live and then adding a slight compressor and a subtle reverb, to have some more ambience. Not perfect, but some of the players hadn't touched their instruments for a couple of years.
One of my friends from a local stageplay asked me to play guitar at his upcoming wedding. I am flattered and still breeding on ideas as to what is suitable to play.
