Summer time

I’m now a proud owner of the Boss RE-20 Space Echo!
In a week time I will be please to add its warmth to my mix of the Mekanik in Castricum’s Uit Je Bak festival But before that I think there will be plenty of testing while I’m working at de Bolder on Vlieland’s [...] Continue reading

Rigor Mortis Ensemble in Brugge

Last Friday I was with the Rigor Mortis Ensemble in Brugge for the han-over of the Hercule Poirot’s prize.
It was great to mix in this absolutely breathtaking room!!
I did a couple of months ago some live rehearshals with the band, while they were busy shooting a clip (see below) and it was fun [...] Continue reading

Cimarron

Got to connect back to Latin American music yesterday @ RASA! I’m not a big fan of Samba or Salsa music… Those cowbell beats often get on my nerves (and after all in 99% of the time I’d rather see cowbells remain on the animals they were created for ).
but yesterday, no cowbell, [...] Continue reading

ON Covered

2 months ago, I did sound for the Cakes,  the first band of the project ONcovered by productiehuis ON (known to have brought NO Blues or Kyteman’s Hip-Hop Orchest to the masses). This 4 min videos explain what the project is about, and give you a glimpse of what you can achieve with [...] Continue reading

A female singers week

I’ll break the idea from the start, no it had nothing to do with all those female GothicoMetalNameItWhateverYoWant week! Way better than this!
Wednesday I had the chance to work with Wendy McNeill again! 3rd time in Burgerweeshuis and if the second time hadn’t left a great impression, this time (as for the first time) it [...] Continue reading

New mics!

One of them seems to have  a little more low-end than the other. I hope to check that deeper tomorrow and hopefully  I will try them Saturday on [...] Continue reading

A few days with the Mekanik

Just got back from a few days with the Mekanik.
All started Tuesday when Marjolijn and Remco gave their final gig to graduate as student from the Rock Academie. We had a great extended team with Freek doing lights, Frank on visuals,  and Suzanne and Irma backing the band up with extra backing-vocals. The show went [...] Continue reading

On the air!

The Gathering website has a new jacket! This is the result of the collaboration between Gema, Frank and me. And honestly, I’m quite proud of what we achieved! As Frank said “it looks pornolicious!!”

Noorderslag 2010

Like last year, I got too late in ordering tickets for Eurosonic/Noorderslag… and was afraid I would have a not so exciting weekend in Deventer… until, until Joris of the Harmonie Boekingen called me to ask me if I was free. Excelsior was throwing a party in de Silo with 4 bands and they needed [...] Continue reading

New website!

This is a 18 hours work.. but it’s fresh enough to go online as far as I’m concerned!
It’s still a beta version and more will come… There are still a couple of bugs here and there but well, I hope to get this fixed next week.
Despite the thing being half done I thought this design [...] Continue reading
